Quebec-licensed immigration lawyer handling federal-only spousal, common-law, and family sponsorship for clients in every Canadian province. Skip the Quebec MIFI wait. 20+ years of experience. Personally handled, bilingual French and English.
No hourly billing. No surprises. Inland spousal sponsorship: $3,800. Outland: $4,200. Common-law: $3,800–$4,200. 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.
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 engagement letter with the flat fee in writing and access to a secure portal for document upload. Most files require 4–6 weeks of preparation.
I prepare and submit your complete application to IRCC, handle all correspondence, and coordinate your COPR delivery. Current processing time: approximately 10–11 months from the US, 12–16 months inland Canada.
Me Gad Pariente has practiced Canadian immigration law since 1997 as a member of the Barreau du Québec. His Montreal-based practice has historically focused on the most complex track in Canadian immigration: Quebec's dual federal-provincial spousal sponsorship process, which requires navigating both IRCC and MIFI simultaneously.
For clients across Canada outside Quebec, the federal-only path is substantially simpler — no provincial step, no MIFI queue, no second set of forms. As a lawyer who handles the harder Quebec-federal version every day, federal-only files are what we do faster, with fewer surprises, and at lower cost than firms that specialize only in federal practice.
The practice serves clients in English and French throughout the entire process — engagement letters, document review, IRCC correspondence, and personal communication.
Fill out the form or call directly. I personally review every inquiry and respond within one business day — most within hours.
