Immigration Lawyer

 

Description:

We're a boutique business immigration law firm that helps businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and families build successful lives in Canada. Our work is complex, fast-moving, and deeply personal, and we do it with care, precision, and purpose.

We're now looking for an immigration lawyer who can step into a key role on our team: managing files, drafting strategic applications, and becoming a trusted advisor to our clients. This is not just a drafting role — it's for someone who wants to grow, lead, and make a real difference.

 

What You'll Do

• Prepare and review application packages for work permits, LMIA, C11, C10, Start-Up Visa, PNPs, and other business/employer-driven streams.
• Draft clear, persuasive legal submissions tailored to each client's story.
• Communicate with clients, explain strategies in plain English, and emotionally support them.
• Manage files from intake to submission with support from our team.
• Spot legal and procedural risks and proactively propose solutions.
• Help improve systems, templates, and the overall client experience.

 

What We're Looking For

• 2–3 years of hands-on experience in Canadian immigration law (especially business or economic streams).
• Strong legal writing and drafting skills.
• Clear communicator who speaks and writes with warmth and clarity.
• Proactive and reliable — you take ownership and don't wait to be told what to do.
• Client-focused mindset — you care deeply about helping people succeed.
• Growth-oriented — you're always looking to improve and learn.
• Bonus: Familiarity with remote work tools or practice management systems.

 

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Clients trust you and feel supported.
• Files are accurate, persuasive, and handled with care.
• You ask great questions, contribute to the team, and own your growth.
• You make life easier for others and help us all raise the bar.

 

What to Expect in the Recruitment Process

We want people who bring thoughtfulness, integrity, and initiative to their work.

Here's how we'll find them:

Stage 1: Resume & Tailored Cover Letter

Please submit:

• Your resume
• A short cover letter answering:

• Why are you interested in this role?
• One way you think immigration lawyering could be improved

•  

Important: We will reject generic applications or lazy answers. We're looking for people who take this seriously.

 

Stage 2: Paid Skill Assessment

Selected applicants will receive assignments to complete in 1–2 days. This helps us assess your skills in a real-world context. Paid at $25/hr for 8 hours.

 

Stage 3: Formal Interview (In-Person)

If your work is strong, we'll invite you to meet our team for a 1–1.5 hour interview. We'll explore how you think, solve problems, and interact with others.

 

Stage 4: Reference Check

We ask for four reference letters from former supervisors, mentors, or colleagues who can speak to your legal skills, integrity, and work ethic.

 

Stage 5: Trial File Work (Contractor)

You'll join as an independent contractor and handle at least five files from start to finish under supervision.

📌 This is a mutual trial to ensure it fits both sides well.

 

Stage 6: Employment Offer

If all goes well, we'll make you a formal offer and welcome you as a core member of our team. Long-term growth opportunities are included.
