About Flow Law

Flow Law Professional Corporation is a small firm in downtown Toronto, on Church Street. It was founded by Eduardo Oliveira, who trained as a lawyer in Brazil at the Recife Law School and later completed a Master of Laws at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. Oliveira heads the firm's immigration department. The firm's four lawyers, supported by a case worker, focus mainly on Canadian immigration law, including sponsorship, work permits, refugee claims, judicial review, and Federal Court litigation, along with family law, corporate and business law, and wills and estates.

The team works in English, French, Spanish, Turkish, and Portuguese, which lets the lawyers serve a mix of newcomer communities directly in their own languages. On the immigration side, the firm has acted in Federal Court matters that have been reported in the case law, including Sallai v. Canada (2024 FC 1698), Anicio Da Silva v. Canada (2024 FC 1113), and Rodriguez Oliveira v. Canada (2024 FC 1001), each of which resulted in a stay or a redetermination for the client.
