The neighbourhood

Fortelex Legal's office sits on Pickering Parkway in Pickering, a Durham Region city that has been growing quickly. Its population reached 99,186 at the 2021 census, up 8.1 percent from 2016, and is projected to reach 131,608 by 2031. Pickering is also one of the more diverse communities in the GTA, with 36.3 percent of residents born outside Canada. That mix of growth and a large immigrant population lines up with a practice that spends a good share of its time on immigration work alongside real estate and business law for a suburb that keeps adding new homes and new residents.
