About Carvajal Law P.C.
Carvajal Law P.C. is a Toronto immigration law firm with more than 12 years of experience in Canadian immigration matters. The firm works out of 357 Bay Street in Toronto's Financial District and keeps a satellite office in Bogota, Colombia. Managing lawyer Andrew Carvajal holds a Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Civil Law from McGill University and is licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. The practice centres on business immigration: work permits, Labour Market Impact Assessments, International Mobility Program cases, and permanent residence and citizenship applications, along with judicial reviews of refused decisions in Federal Court.
The team includes lawyers trained on more than one continent. Laura Ricaurte earned a law degree and a postgraduate tax degree from Universidad de los Andes in Colombia, spent nearly five years as a tax associate at a Colombia law firm, joined Carvajal Law in 2023, and is now pursuing a Common Law LLM at Osgoode Hall Law School. Miho Kitamura holds a J.D. from the University of Ottawa and a B.A. from Queen's University, and worked at an international development organization before law school.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Carvajal Law's Toronto office is at 357 Bay Street, an 11 storey building put up in 1922 as the General Accident Insurance Building and now protected as a City of Toronto heritage property. A recent restoration kept the lobby's emerald green terrazzo floors, marble and wood paneling, part of a wider effort to preserve the block as a heritage district rather than redevelop it. The address sits in the heart of the Financial District, blocks from the head offices and corporate tenants that generate much of the work permit and LMIA work the firm handles for employers.
The location also puts the firm within easy reach of the Federal Court's Toronto registry on Queen Street West, where judicial reviews of refused immigration decisions, part of the firm's practice, are filed and heard.
