CAMPBELL COHEN (CAMPBELL, COHEN, SEIDMAN, LÉVEILLÉ) is a leading law firm in Canada specializing in immigration and citizenship law.
Senior partner David Cohen began his law practice in 1974, and for the past 20 years has concentrated on assisting people applying for immigration to Canada. David Cohen personally supervises every immigration case at CAMPBELL COHEN, and is highly regarded by Immigration Department officials for his legal knowledge, honesty and integrity.
When you apply to immigrate to Canada, it makes sense to choose a law firm with the experience and reputation to open doors for you.
We have over two decades of experience advising and representing thousands of applicants now living and working in Canada. This means that CAMPBELL COHEN may well have more in-depth immigration expertise than virtually any law firm in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver. Our services include qualifications for permanent resident status, employment visas, student visas, the removal of visa conditions (where applicable) and the acquisition of Canadian citizenship. CAMPBELL COHEN represents clients before all courts of the Canadian judicial system including the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.
We have a total of 20 lawyers and support staff ready to serve you at our principal office, plus worldwide contacts through our offices and affiliates in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Sub-Continent, the Far East and the Pacific Rim. These offices are familiar with documentation in their respective countries, making it easier to resolve accreditation and qualification issues or other burdens of proof.
From any part of the world, you can confidently refer your application to CAMPBELL COHEN -- to live and work anywhere in Canada.
Although it is not mandatory for applicants in the Independent category to be represented by legal counsel, a great number of people who may qualify to immigrate to Canada choose to be represented by CAMPBELL COHEN, for several important reasons.
Immigration, like most government processes, can be more complex than it appears. Government of Canada Procedure Manuals and Operations Memorandums must be understood and followed. It is essential to know Immigration Appeal Board and Federal Court decisions and precedents. Intricate matters such as these are beyond home study by Foreign National applicants, and can determine whether an application for Canadian permanent resident status is considered or rejected. CAMPBELL COHEN attends to all potentially confusing details and uncertainties.
In addition, we defend applicants from uneven interpretation, misapplication or even breaches of regulations that may affect a final decision. Even though entry to Canada is determined on the basis of points earned according to selection criteria, Canadian Immigration officials are allowed a wide degree of discretionary authority in their evaluation. Quite simply, CAMPBELL COHEN knows what is effective.
By managing the process efficiently, we can often complete it faster and reduce our clients’ investment in time and money. To answer your queries and keep you informed, there is always a knowledgeable person who has access to your file during office hours, we are in touch with the office on week-ends, and you can communicate with us at any time via the Internet.
Every client at CAMPBELL COHEN receives the full benefit of our personal and professional skills, attention and influence. Your case is handled individually, so you do not have to worry about your file being shuffled or lost in a legal production line. It is also treated with absolute confidentiality. We are very different from ‘consultants’, many of whom are unregulated, unaccountable and uninsured, at times leaving their clients unprotected. As lawyers, we are legally bound to handle your case according to professional standards, and you have recourse through legal channels to protect your interests.
Once the Canadian Government accepts your application, we are pleased to guide or assist you with personal or commercial banking and financial reorganization, living accommodations, educational and training requirements and business or employment opportunities. It is part of our job to help you settle as quickly and comfortably as possible and integrate into Canadian society. Alternatively, if our free assessment indicates that you do not qualify, we will tell you so to save you time and money.
CAMPBELL COHEN’S philosophy is to provide clients with all the information they might need, and to apply our full legal expertise on their behalf. That is why CAMPBELL COHEN is a leader on the Internet with a highly informative and effective web site attracting an exceptional frequency of visits. David Cohen has made perhaps the most significant contribution to the World Wide Web and Newsgroups in substantive matters relating to Canadian immigration law and procedures.
We continually expand and update our site because it enables you to make a decision that is based on trust. If you need any further information in order to feel confident about CAMPBELL COHEN, please contact us by e-mail, by telephone or fax.
