We suggest you interview several law firms in advance of making a choice -- it can be a very expensive decision in both time, money and of course consequences.
Web site Disclaimer
This site lists lawyers with areas of practice including Canada Citizenship and Immigration / Refugee Law - we advise you to verify if the lawyer is still maintaining their membership with the Law Society of BC by going to www.lawsociety.bc.ca
as lawyers move or change areas of specialization over time.
