Distinction Law P.C.

Frequently asked questions

My company needs to hire a foreign worker. Can Distinction Law help?

Yes. The firm represents employers across Canada and can help secure a work permit, including a Labour Market Impact Assessment where one is required, for a critical hire.

Does Distinction Law take refugee or asylum cases?

Yes, the firm helps refugees and asylum seekers with their claims.

I might already be a Canadian citizen through a parent or grandparent. Can Distinction Law check?

Yes. The firm reviews citizenship by descent claims and helps eligible clients apply for a Citizenship Certificate. Recent changes to the Citizenship Act mean descent based citizenship is no longer limited to just one generation born outside Canada in every case, so it can be worth a second look even after an earlier refusal.

I work in film or television. Can Distinction Law get me a Canadian work permit?

Yes. The firm handles work permits for actors, producers, and crew, including bulk applications for larger productions, and can help work out whether a shoot needs a permit at all, since around half of filming in Canada is work-permit exempt.

I don't live in Toronto, or I'm outside Canada. Can Distinction Law still represent me?

Yes. Many immigration programs are federal rather than provincial, so the firm represents clients across Canada and internationally, with consultations available by phone or by video.

Can I get a free opinion on my case before I book anything?

No. Distinction Law only gives advice and opinions during a paid consultation, though appointments can be booked online any time and same day appointments are often available.
