About Kranc Associates
Kranc Associates was a Toronto corporate immigration law firm at 425 University Avenue, led by principal Benjamin A. Kranc, a Law Society of Ontario Certified Specialist in Immigration Law.

Its clients ranged from small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations across sectors including energy, manufacturing, financial services, and technology.
Effective July 1, 2026, Kranc Associates joined McInnes Cooper, a Canadian business law firm with more than 220 lawyers across eight offices and a history spanning more than 167 years.
