About Fouad Legal

Fouad Legal is a Toronto immigration and refugee law firm run by Monica Fouad, a lawyer licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. Its founder holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Windsor Faculty of Law and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from York University. The practice is a solo firm that limits its work entirely to immigration and refugee matters, from first applications through hearings and appeals.

The firm represents clients on refugee protection claims before the Refugee Protection Division and Refugee Appeal Division, judicial review at the Federal Court, and inadmissibility issues including misrepresentation, criminal rehabilitation, and procedural fairness letters. It also handles temporary and permanent residence applications, covering Express Entry, the Provincial Nominee Program, family sponsorship, business immigration, and humanitarian and compassionate cases, along with Canadian citizenship applications and notary services for documents that need formal authentication. Consultations run as a 30-minute Strategy Call or a 1-Hour Deep Dive Consultation, and the firm says it doesn't guarantee outcomes, focusing instead on honest assessment and preparation.

Who handles what

The neighbourhood

Fouad Legal's Toronto office is at 77 Bloor Street West, Suite 600, a serviced office building. The building sits within Yorkville, an area known for its boutique shopping and sometimes called the Mink Mile, and sits right on a subway line, according to the building's leasing information. For a solo immigration practice, meeting in a flexible office suite rather than a standalone location fits how the firm actually sees clients dealing with an immigration deadline.
