About Kaminker & Associates

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Kaminker & Associates Immigration Law is a small immigration firm based in Toronto, Ontario, established in 2005. The firm is led by principal lawyer Hart Kaminker, who was called to the Ontario bar in 1992 after earning a B.A. from the University of Western Ontario in 1987 and an LLB from the University of Toronto in 1990. The practice covers both personal and corporate immigration: permanent residence, citizenship, and visitor, study, and work permits, refugee claims, and admissibility hearings and appeals on one side, and the Global Talent Stream, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, intra-company transfers, and free trade agreement mobility on the other. Kaminker has appeared before the Federal Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal, and all divisions of the Immigration and Refugee Board.

The firm keeps each client with the same lawyer from intake through resolution, so a file doesn't get handed between associates as a case moves along. The firm's own site says its team speaks six languages and has served clients from 196 nationalities. Kaminker sits on the Ontario Bar Association's executive committee, is a member of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, and has served on the Board of Governors at Beth Tikvah Synagogue and on the UJA Israel Engagement Committee.
