Legal assistance to guide you
In order to make a good application or refugee claim, or to be effective in your request or correspondence with an immigration or border officer, you need to present your application / letter and evidence in a the way that the immigration or refugee protection or Canada Border Service Agency decision maker wants to see. You need to answer all their questions and concerns. You have to tell your story in an acceptable way from their point of view. This involves following rules requirements, which are often changing, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have an immigration appeal hearing, the rules, process and preparation become even more complicated. If you wanted to challenge a negative decision at the Federal Court, the complication and challenge grows. In order to have peace of mind and be able to focus on the rest of your day, it makes a big difference to have a legal professional help take care of these complexities. Let Asaf be your guide through the process.
