Sponsorship of a Family Member, Rehabilitation and Compassionate Applications

Sponsorship, Rehabilitation and Humanitarian applications are considered at Immigration Offices in Canada and Visa Offices abroad. Although it is important to be thoroughly familiar with applicable regulations, rules and guidelines, these applications are discretionary and, therefore, it is equally important to be able to address the relevant circumstances of your specific personal situation. Our successful experience in dealing with various Immigration officers and Visa officers in complex cases, over three decades, allows us to provide you with effective representation throughout the application process.

His knowledge of immigration law is paramount to any other immigration lawyers we consulted throughout a complicated and lengthy process. Communication was always direct, realistic and resulted in a positive outcome. Thank you so much!Wanda Tse1703799634 ★★★★★ I needed someone GOOD in the immigration area for my good friends, a married couple. It's not a simple case. They worked and lived in Canada legally for over 3 years, and was promised permanent residence but at the end, immigration didn't go through as promised by their employer, and they had to return to Switzerland.I first found a law firm on Bay Street, someone had mentioned it. I phoned and was told $250 was the consultation fee. Then I was transferred to another receptionist and it had gone up to $275. All they wanted was money! So business like, so uncaring.When I briefly explained about the case, she was already offering legal advice. Then she wanted $275 before she would book an appointment with a lawyer. She made sure I heard from her that their law firm occupies the entire 28th floor in that building on Bay Street! What's the relevance here?Anyway, then I thought I really should research more and then I came up with Steven Tress. I read all the good reviews and there was only one bad one (and I am not so sure about that bad one, just the way it was written, even before I contacted Steven).I phoned and he answered the phone! I asked many initial questions, all he answered promptly and courteously, without rushing me, without ever asking for money whatsoever.It was only when I suggested it was time for him to do a proper consultation with the couple directly via e-mail, that, and so reasonably so, that he said his charge was $200 (much cheaper) and at the end of very many e-mails, from my friends, and more from me, all their/my questions were fully answered to the finest details! Never met Steven but he would be my immigration lawyer from now on. I would highly recommend him. Steven is the best immigration lawyer, and one with a heart, and not just money-minded.In my life, I have different specialist individuals who bless me with their assistance: I have a great person in each of these fields: a GP lawyer, a GP doctor, a Chartered Accountant, a psychiatrist, a travel agent, an insurance agent, etc. And now I added Steven to my list of immigration (and God forbids, a criminal) lawyer!!Tejveer Singh1699303024 ★★★★★ I am immensely grateful to Steven Tress & team for their exceptional handling of my intricate immigration case.
