Global Immigration Partners PLLC is a U.S. immigration law firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded by a team of U.S. immigration attorneys to handle cross border immigration work for individuals, families, and businesses, and it's grown into a network with offices in Washington, London, Rome, Berlin, Malta, Dubai, Mumbai, Sydney, and Toronto. The Toronto office, on John Street in downtown Toronto, serves Canada based clients pursuing U.S. immigration matters.
The firm's core work is U.S. investment and employment based immigration, including E-2 treaty investor visas, L-1 intracompany transfers, EB-5 investor petitions, TN professional status, and H-1B specialty occupation visas. Canada is one of the treaty countries for the E-2 program, so the Toronto office focuses heavily on Canadian entrepreneurs and professionals pursuing U.S. status through those categories. Through its offices in London, Rome, and Dubai, the firm also connects clients to immigration and residency options elsewhere, including Italian residency and property purchases, U.K. immigration, and UAE golden visas. Alex Jovy, who leads the firm's investor visa work, brings 15+ years of international business and legal experience.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The Toronto address, 180 John Street, sits in a shared office building marketed as "Spaces Queen West," a serviced coworking location rather than a dedicated law office. That's the kind of arrangement a firm based elsewhere typically uses to meet local clients without opening a full branch.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Global Immigration Partners help a Canadian entrepreneur get a U.S. E-2 visa?

- Yes, EB-5 investor petitions are one of the visa categories the firm handles for Canadian clients, alongside E-2, L-1, and TN status.
- Can a Canadian employee transfer to a U.S. branch office through this firm?
- The firm assists Canadian employees of multinational companies with L-1 intracompany transfer visas to move to a related U.S. office, as well as TN status for Canadian professionals in designated occupations.
- Is there a lawyer I can meet with in Toronto, or is the firm based in the U.S.?
- The firm is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and lists Toronto among its network of global offices. The Toronto office serves Canadian clients pursuing U.S. immigration matters.
- Does the firm only handle U.S. immigration, or can it help with residency in other countries too?
- Beyond U.S. immigration, the firm connects clients to programs in other countries through its offices in London, Rome, and Dubai, including Italian residency and property purchases, U.K. immigration, and UAE golden visas.
- What is a TN visa, and can this firm help with one?
