Gad Pariente is an immigration lawyer licensed by the Barreau du Québec since 2006, practicing as a sole practitioner under GAD PARIENTE AVOCAT INC. in Montréal.
Before law, he spent years in public relations and communications. That background taught him something critical: how to tell a client's story clearly, persuasively, and honestly to decision-makers. That skill is at the heart of what he does now.
Over the past 20+ years, he has handled hundreds of spousal sponsorship files across all provinces—Quebec, Ontario, BC, Alberta, and beyond. He has seen what works, what doesn't, and how small details can make or break a file. He knows the IRCC process inside out. He knows federal policy. He knows how to present your relationship in a way that moves the needle.
Most importantly: he handles your file personally. Not a junior. Not an assistant. Gad himself. You'll reach him directly, get responses quickly (often within hours), and know exactly where your file stands at every stage. Your sponsorship is your life—he treats it that way.
He is fluent in English and French, and he works with clients across Canada and internationally. Attorney Pariente can help you, whether you already live with your spouse or partner in Ontario, you just got married and you want to bring your spouse from India or any country. You want to make sure your application is handled by the best immigration lawyer.
No hourly billing. No surprises. Inland spousal sponsorship: $4,000. Outland: $4,500. Common-law: $4,000–$4,500. You see exactly what you'll pay before you commit — in writing.
Most Canadian provinces process spousal sponsorship through IRCC alone — no provincial step, no MIFI queue, no quota. As a Quebec lawyer who handles the dual-track Quebec/federal process every day, federal-only files are what I do faster than anyone.
I handle your file personally — not a junior, not a paralegal, not a consultant. Communication in English or French. Responses typically within hours. Your file is never lost in a large firm's pipeline.
Quebec residents: add $500 legal fees for the additional Quebec provincial sponsorship undertaking (MIFI), which is required in addition to the federal application.
Fees above are for legal services only. IRCC processing fees, biometrics, medical exams, certified translations, and disbursements are billed separately at IRCC cost — no markup. Engagement letter with full scope provided before any work begins.

We discuss your situation by phone or video. No commitment. If we're not the right fit for your file, I'll tell you directly and recommend someone who is.
If we proceed, you receive a written legal fee agreement with the flat fee and a detailed list of documents required to complete your application.
I prepare and submit your complete application to IRCC, handle all correspondence, and coordinate your COPR delivery.
