Our immigration lawyers form Edmonton's leading immigration practice group.  We have a proven history of working with businesses and individuals to achieve their immigration objectives.

We advise all types of employers as they hire foreign workers to fill specific needs or meet labour shortages.  Our lawyers also advise businesses seeking to retain selected workers on a more permanent basis.

Our lawyers help individuals to determine the best way for them or their family members to obtain Canadian permanent residence. We assist in application preparation and on-going processing; we also advise individuals as to the status of their application, and any options or other avenues available should any problems arise.
