Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Assessment Form and Why Do I Need to Fill it Out?
Our assessment form is a free online tool that helps connect prospective clients to our staff. The form can be accessed directly from our website and the information you provide comes directly into our system in the form of a profile. Someone from our office will look at your profile, assess your situation, and contact you about a consultation or any other options. The form speeds up the process for new prospects as it minimizes the time spent gathering the details needed to accurately assess your situation at the outset. It also ensures we have the proper contact information on hand at all times. Of course, you may always contact our office directly if you feel that you cannot express your particular needs through the form. Nonetheless, we may ask you to fill out the form if we find that we need more information that cannot be easily relayed via phone call or email.
How Will I Be Kept Informed About My Case?
If you choose to sign an agreement with us, we will be in frequent contact with you about your case.

What Do I Need to Bring to a Consultation?

Do I Really Need an Attorney?
The laws and many programs governing immigration to Canada can be complex and difficult to navigate.

Consultation
A consultation is a wise investment: you will have the opportunity to discuss your goals and Haidah will assess the details of your personal situation in order to advise you what steps you will need to take next. During a legal consultation, you will be asked about your work experience, educational background, and whether there are any issues that might delay or deny your ability to come to Canada, such as medical or legal issues. By the end of the consultation, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the steps you need to take for your immigration application and you can make an informed decision on whether you need to hire a legal representative or if you are able to do it yourself.
Confidentiality
We uphold our ideal of keeping all information given by our clients confidential. It is our duty to ensure that whatever communication our clients have entrusted to us will only be disclosed to authorized persons. This ethical standard of confidentiality is applied to all work we do.
Cost
The cost for a legal consultation is $300.00 plus tax. The cost for legal representation is case-by-case and varies according to many factors, including the type of application. Fees will be discussed and determined during the initial consult and will be tailored to each client and their circumstances.
