About Pilkington Immigration

Pilkington Immigration is an immigration law firm based in downtown Guelph, Ontario, at 55 Wyndham Street North. It's named for Gilbert Pilkington, a retired U.S. attorney and former U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, and its managing partner is A. Joseph Maloney, a Canadian lawyer and U.S. attorney born in Toronto who competed in track and field for Canada. The practice does one thing: immigration. On the Canadian side it handles permanent residence, work and study permits, family sponsorship, citizenship, and business immigration, and it also files U.S. cases such as green cards, work visas, and inadmissibility waivers.

The firm's reach runs across jurisdictions. It pairs Canadian lawyers and licensed immigration consultants with attorneys admitted in several U.S. states, and its people include lawyers called to the bar in England and Wales, Germany, Mauritius, and Nigeria, so the firm also takes on German, Mauritian, and Nigerian matters. Several staff are immigrants themselves, and a lawyer at the firm practises in both English and French. Pilkington Immigration belongs to the Law Society of Ontario, the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. From its Guelph head office it runs a wide network of appointment-based locations across Canada, along with offices in the United States and offshore in Mauritius.

The neighbourhood

The head office sits on Wyndham Street North, in Guelph's historic downtown near St. George's Square, among the city's limestone commercial blocks. Guelph is a university city, home to the University of Guelph, and it draws international students, workers, and newcomers, which are the sort of clients an immigration practice tends to see.

Meetings at the Guelph office are by appointment, Monday to Friday. Rather than ask clients to travel there, the firm backs its head office with a wide network of appointment-based locations in other Canadian cities, so people can often meet closer to home.
