One of the highest-rated law firms in Etobicoke, going by its Google reviews.
Sobirovs Law Firm is a business immigration firm based in Etobicoke, with a second office in Vancouver. Rakhmad Sobirov and Feruza Djamalova founded the firm in 2012, after both came to Canada as international students and became first-generation immigrant lawyers before qualifying to practice law in Ontario. That background shaped a practice that handles business and investor immigration only, rather than immigration law in general, and the firm now describes having filed more than 160 applications for clients across six continents in 2024.
The team advises entrepreneurs, investors and companies on start up visas, provincial nominee programs, work permits, intra company transfers and Labour Market Impact Assessments. Sobirov holds law degrees from Canada, Hungary and Uzbekistan, including a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa, and is fluent in Turkish, Russian, Uzbek and Tajik in addition to English. Djamalova, a founding member of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association, has been licensed to practice in Ontario since 2011. The firm's business immigration work has been recognized by Chambers and Partners.

The neighbourhood
The firm's Canadian base is a suite on Dundas Street West in Etobicoke, with a second office on Hornby Street in Vancouver. Because most of its clients are entrepreneurs and investors applying to Canada from another country, the firm runs its intake by video rather than in person: an initial strategy meeting takes place over Google Meet or Zoom with one of its Ontario licensed lawyers before a file ever opens. The Etobicoke office anchors the Ontario side of the practice, while Vancouver extends the same business immigration focus to the west coast for clients who prefer a local point of contact there.
