About Landed Law
Landed Law is a solo Toronto law firm that practices exclusively in Canadian refugee and immigration law. Celeste Shankland founded the firm and is its principal lawyer, working from an office on Madison Avenue in the city's Annex neighbourhood. The practice covers refugee claims and appeals, permanent and temporary residence applications, and citizenship matters, along with humanitarian and compassionate applications, family sponsorship, and judicial review at the Federal Court. Shankland regularly appears before all levels of the Immigration and Refugee Board and at the Federal Court of Canada.
Shankland was called to the Ontario bar in 2012 and entered refugee and immigration practice the following year, after working as a supervising lawyer at Project Genesis, a walk-in legal clinic in Montreal focused on tenancy and poverty law. Earlier work included the Refugee Rights Clinic in Cape Town, South Africa, and a legal advisor role at the National Centre Against Violence in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Shankland holds a Bachelor of Arts with honours from Concordia University, civil law and common law degrees from McGill University, and a post-graduate certificate in Refugee and Forced Migration Issues from York University. Shankland belongs to the Law Society of Ontario, the Refugee Lawyers' Association of Ontario, and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, speaks French, and works with law clerks and interpreters to serve clients in other languages.
