Thinking of coming to Canada?

Navigating through Canada’s immigration laws can be complicated to do on your own, especially since the burden will be on you, the applicant, to prove that you meet all of the necessary criteria for immigration.


Whether you are interested in immigrating to Canada, sponsoring a family member from abroad or coming to work, study or visit temporarily, we can help you put forth your best application.


If you are a Canadian employer, our law firm can assist your company by efficiently obtaining the necessary visa and work permit applications for the foreign employees you would like to hire.


At Karmali Farrimond LLP, our dedicated lawyers specialize in immigration law matters. Our office is conveniently located in downtown Ottawa, the nation's capital, and we are able to assist with immigration to any part of the country. Legal services are offered in English, French and Spanish.


Our firm offers a range of affordable services so that you can obtain the legal help that you need. Legal aid certificates are accepted. During our first consultation, we will advise you right away about your eligibility under various immigration categories, the application process and the kind of evidence you should include with your application. (We are able to provide this consultation over the phone for those who are outside Ottawa or Canada). 


If you decide to submit an application, we can prepare it for you so that you can be confident that it has been completed properly and that you have submitted your best application. We offer flat rates for this service so you won't have to worry about unexpected legal costs.  


We are also happy to provide assistance with any immigration matter (big or small) on an hourly rate. This means our fee will be tied to the amount of time you need our help for. This option can accordingly provide a more economical alternative for those who would simply like one of our lawyers to review a draft application and its supporting documentation to make sure it has been completed correctly and thoroughly. We can also follow-up on the status of your existing immigration application on this hourly basis and correct problems while there is still time to do so. Learn more about all the other ways we can help you by reading about our services, or by contacting us. 


If you are thinking about immigrating, you will naturally wish to begin by learning as much as possible about life in Canada and the different categories for becoming a permanent resident of Canada: Skilled Worker, Business Class, Family Sponsorship and Refugee / Protected Person. We sincerely hope you will find the information on this website a helpful start for the important decisions you will need to make.
