Virtual appointmentsAbout Melo Law Professional Corporation
Melo Carrasquero LLP, which also does business as MC Law LLP, is a small immigration, corporate, and wills and estates practice on The East Mall in Etobicoke. The firm traces back to Melo Law, a solo practice Paola Melo ran after working as a law clerk and articling student at Bondy Immigration Law. Paola later partnered with Gloria Carrasquero to form the current LLP. Paola holds an LL.B. from the University of Leicester and is a member of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association, the Refugee Lawyers' Association, and the Canadian and Ontario Bar Associations. Gloria earned an LLM from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2018 and was called to the Ontario bar in 2019, after emigrating from Venezuela to Canada in 2010.
The firm's immigration practice covers family class sponsorship, study and work permits, Express Entry and provincial nominee applications, citizenship matters, and inadmissibility cases, along with corporate, wills and estates, and notary work. It serves clients in Canada and abroad and offers services in English and Spanish; Paola Melo is also conversant in French. Paola also teaches Family Class Immigration in Queen's University's Graduate Diploma in Immigration and Citizenship Law program.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office is on the lower floor of a plaza on The East Mall, in the Eringate-Centennial-West Deane area of west Etobicoke, a few minutes' drive from Highway 427. It's a quieter, car-oriented stretch of the city, away from the downtown court towers, which fits a practice built mostly around immigration applications, wills, and paperwork rather than courtroom appearances.
