About Babel Immigration Law Professional Corporation

Babel Immigration Law Professional Corporation is a firm in Oakville, Ontario that practises exclusively in Canadian and U.S. immigration law. It was founded by Melissa Babel, a Certified Specialist in Citizenship and Immigration Law with the Law Society of Ontario who is also licensed to practise in Newfoundland and Labrador and admitted as an Attorney at Law in Massachusetts. The firm advises individuals, families, and employers on temporary and permanent residence, citizenship, and cross border compliance in both countries.

A large part of the practice is corporate immigration. The firm works with employers on Labour Market Impact Assessment applications and Global Talent Strategy work permits, helping them keep foreign worker programs compliant with the International Mobility Program. On the individual side it handles Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program applications, family sponsorship, and citizenship matters.

Babel has also been active in the wider immigration bar, serving as Vice-Chair of the Ontario Bar Association's Citizenship and Immigration Law Section for the 2019 to 2020 term, teaching a Corporate Immigration Law course at the University of Ottawa from 2014 to 2016, and appearing as an invited speaker before the UK Commons Select Committee for Science and Technology in 2018.
