Auxilium Law Professional Corporation is a Toronto immigration and refugee law firm founded and directed by Arvin Afzali, a barrister and solicitor called to the Ontario bar in 2017. The firm's name comes from the Latin word for help or assistance, which it says reflects its approach to clients. Afzali completed a Master of Arts in International Affairs and Public Policy together with a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Montreal, followed by a Juris Doctor in common law, and sits on the executive of the Refugee Lawyer's Association. The firm regularly represents clients before Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the Canada Border Services Agency, the Federal Court, and the Federal Court of Appeal.
The practice covers the full span of Canadian immigration work, from temporary and permanent residence applications and Express Entry to refugee and asylum claims, appeals to the Refugee Appeal Division, judicial review, admissibility matters, citizenship applications, and notary public services. It accepts Legal Aid Ontario certificates, offering free half-hour consultations to certificate holders, and works with clients in English, French, Spanish, and Farsi. The firm also runs an immigration and refugee law blog and publishes a free online calculator for Express Entry points, tools it makes available to the public alongside its case work.

Legal aidWho handles what
The neighbourhood
Auxilium Law's office is on the fourth floor of 40 Holly Street, a nine storey building just east of Yonge Street on Eglinton Avenue in Toronto's midtown Yonge and Eglinton area. The firm describes itself as located right next to Eglinton subway station, and the building sits close enough to the station that public transit is steps away, which matters for a practice whose clients often need to reach appointments without a car and where the firm also takes on Legal Aid Ontario certificate cases. Because Auxilium Law also offers remote consultations to clients across the country, the Toronto office serves as a base for a practice that isn't limited to people who can visit in person.
