Mandelbaum Immigration Lawyers is a Toronto firm that practices exclusively in Canadian and American immigration law. Daniel Mandelbaum founded the firm in 2019 after several years in private practice at other Toronto immigration firms, following a call to the Ontario bar in 2013. The office is in North York, at 4665 Yonge Street near Sheppard Avenue. A team of four lawyers prepares Canadian temporary and permanent residency applications, Express Entry and Start-up Visa filings, and citizenship applications for professionals, skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and companies, and also handles American immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, including TN, H-1B, and E-1 and E-2 categories, for clients moving between the two countries.
The team's credentials span both systems. One lawyer holds a Master of Laws from Osgoode Hall Law School and a law degree from the University of London, and another is licensed with the New York State Bar. Firm lawyers belong to the American Immigration Lawyers Association and keep up continuing education through the Canadian Bar Association. The firm also runs an Immigration Freedom Plan aimed at American technology companies and workers, using Canadian work permits and permanent residency to keep teams together when U.S. visa options run short. Daniel Mandelbaum has been quoted in The News & Observer on shifts in Canada's approach to American H-1B holders.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office is on Yonge Street in North York, at 4665 Yonge Street. The firm belongs to the North York Business Improvement Area, the local business association for that stretch of Yonge Street.
Because the firm practices Canadian and American immigration law for clients moving between the two countries, many clients are based elsewhere in the Greater Toronto Area, in the United States, or abroad rather than in the immediate neighbourhood. Membership in the North York Business Improvement Area ties the office to the businesses along this part of Yonge Street.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Mandelbaum Immigration Lawyers handle immigration to the United States as well as Canada?
- Yes. The firm practices both Canadian and American immigration law, including Canadian work permits, Express Entry, and citizenship, alongside U.S. visa categories such as TN, H-1B, E-1, and E-2. That dual practice lets the firm advise clients and companies moving between the two countries instead of sending the U.S. side to a different office.
- My work permit or visa application in Canada was refused. Can the firm help me appeal it?
- The firm handles IRCC reconsideration requests and Federal Court judicial review applications after a refusal, and can help prepare a new application with stronger documentation. Federal Court deadlines can run as short as 15 days from a refusal decision, so it's worth contacting a lawyer as soon as a refusal comes in.
- I run a U.S. technology company and I'm worried about visa backlogs for my employees. Can this firm help?
- The firm's Immigration Freedom Plan is built around this situation. It uses Canadian work permits and permanent residency to let American technology companies keep employees working from Canada instead of waiting out U.S. visa or green card backlogs.
- Can Mandelbaum Immigration Lawyers help my employer get a Labour Market Impact Assessment to hire me from outside Canada?
- Yes. The firm prepares LMIA applications across the high-wage, low-wage, Global Talent Stream, Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program, and in-home caregiver streams, each of which carries its own eligibility rules and timelines.
- How big is the firm and where is it located?
- Mandelbaum Immigration Lawyers is a team of four lawyers based in Toronto's North York area, at 4665 Yonge Street near the Sheppard subway station. Daniel Mandelbaum founded the firm in 2019 and it practices immigration law exclusively.
- How do I get started with the firm?
- The firm asks new clients to fill out a short consultation form describing their immigration situation, through the website, by phone, or by email, and says it typically responds within 24 hours.
