Immigration Lawyer Montreal

Montreal sits at a unique crossroads in Canadian immigration law. Quebec runs its own immigration selection system, separate from federal programs. Navigating both federal and provincial pathways — in a bilingual city with a distinct legal culture — requires lawyers who know both systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We serve Montreal and all of Quebec for federal immigration matters — work permits, US immigration, family class sponsorship, inadmissibility and refusals. Virtual consultations are available.

Express Entry is a federal program for immigrants settling anywhere in Canada except Quebec. Quebec runs its own selection system — the QSWP and PEQ. Most people immigrating to Quebec must go through a Quebec program first, then apply federally for permanent residence. We handle the federal side and coordinate with Quebec counsel for provincial selection.

Yes. We manage both Canadian federal immigration and US immigration. Whether you need a Canadian work permit, US work authorization, or both, we coordinate both sides of the border together.

Family sponsorship refusals carry an IAD appeal right within 30 days. Federal Court judicial review is available for many refusal types within 15 days. 

Options depend on visa type and reason for refusal. Many refusals can be addressed by reapplying with stronger documentation. 

It depends on the offence and how Canadian law classifies it. Criminal Rehabilitation provides a permanent fix. A Temporary Resident Permit covers a one-time or limited entry. We review your specific history and advise on the right approach.
