Immigration Lawyer in London, Ontario
International students at London's university and colleges often need help with study permit extensions, changes of program or institution, post-graduation work permits and the move to permanent residence. A mistake with status, such as letting a permit expire or working more than the 24 hours per week allowed off campus during academic sessions, can cause serious problems. We help students and graduates plan ahead and fix issues when they arise.
We also help London families with spousal and family sponsorship, super visas for parents, and permanent residence through Express Entry and the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program. When an application is refused, we review the decision and advise on re-applying, reconsideration or judicial review.

Frequently Asked Questions – London
Where is your London office?
Our London virtual office is at 30 Kanata Cres, London, ON N6J 4R9. It has no walk-in service: consultations are held by phone or video. Call (289) 652-0529 to book.
My study permit is about to expire. What should I do?
Apply for an extension before it expires. If you apply in time, you keep 'maintained status' and can stay while IRCC decides, but an application rejected as incomplete does not protect your status. If your permit has already expired, you may be able to apply to restore your status within 90 days. Restoration is not guaranteed, so get advice quickly.
Can I apply for permanent residence after graduating in London?
Many graduates qualify through Express Entry (Canadian Experience Class) after gaining at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada on a post-graduation work permit, or through the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program. Note that some non-degree programs must meet IRCC's field-of-study requirement for PGWP eligibility. We assess your options.
Will a criminal charge affect my study or work permit?
It can. A conviction may make you inadmissible to Canada and affect future applications. Get advice from a lawyer who understands both criminal and immigration law before resolving the charge.
Do you help with buying a rental property in London?
Yes. We review the agreement, title and zoning questions, coordinate with your lender and close the purchase.
Can I do everything remotely?
Yes. London is a virtual office, so matters are handled by phone, video and email, with electronic signing where the law allows. Some documents, such as wills, have special witnessing rules that we will explain.
