Our Process:
We cannot provide urgent help. Wait times vary and there may be delays because we are a small team.
We are a virtual clinic. We do not have a physical office. We communicate by email, phone, and video call.
Because we are a small team with a focused mandate, we do not offer:
- In-person services
- Urgent services (including applications with short deadlines)
- Services for people in US detention
- Advice about how criminal charges or convictions affect immigration
- In-person representation at the border
- Opinions on the strength of a refugee claim
- Advice about other immigration pathways to Canada
- Legal advice for US citizens moving to Canada (see this resource: Considering Canada)
