Family sponsorship lawyers in Weyburn

Most sponsorship files are handled on paper and online, so what matters most is a lawyer's experience with your type of case: a spouse abroad or already in Canada, a conjugal partner, a child, or parents. It also helps to find someone comfortable with both the federal forms and the Quebec undertaking, and who speaks the languages your family is most at ease in. Each lawyer sets their own rates, and you can see them before you book.

Who handles your file

Your federal application goes to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, and a Quebec sponsor's undertaking goes to the MIFI, whichever city you live in. Neither is handled by a local courthouse. If an officer asks for an interview, it may take place at an immigration office, abroad or by video.

If the application is refused, an appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division is heard by a federal tribunal, often by video, so you can usually take part without travelling far.

In person or online

Many lawyers meet clients by video or phone as well as in person, so you are not limited to offices in Weyburn. Remote meetings are also practical when your partner or parent is abroad and wants to take part. Check each profile for the formats and languages offered.

Before your first meeting

• Status documents for you and your family member.
• Proof of your relationship and time spent together.
• Any letters from IRCC, the MIFI or the IAD.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an immigration lawyer from my own city?

No. Immigration is mostly federal and files are submitted online, so a lawyer anywhere in Quebec, or a member of another Canadian law society, can usually help. A lawyer familiar with the Quebec undertaking is a plus for Quebec sponsors.

Can a lawyer help after a refusal?

Yes. A lawyer can review the refusal, explain whether an appeal or a new application makes more sense and meet the short appeal deadline.
