Immigration:

Sponsoring a parent, same-sex or opposite-sex spouse or partner for Canadian residency can be a long and exhausting process. Our Toronto immigration lawyer can ensure that your application will be processed correctly the first time, so that you and your spouse can avoid costly mistakes and start enjoying your life in Canada as soon as possible. We take a strategic approach to each case and deliver a lasting immigration solution for each client.

Immigration laws and procedures change constantly, and we are always looking for ways to use these changes to our clients' advantage. Sponsorship applications are subject to scrutiny by the immigration officers. Therefore it is very important to document your relationships very well in preparation for your applications. Getting an immigration lawyer early in the process is crucial to maximizing your chances of success, and avoiding costly mistakes.

Canada is one of only several countries in the world that allow for same-sex sponsorships, and we are committed to assisting same-sex couples in meeting their immigration goals. As a gay Toronto immigration lawyer, with a professional background in counseling psychology, Ivan Steele is eminently equipped to devise a winning strategy for your same-sex sponsorship application.
