Virtual appointmentsAbout Motivus Law
Motivus Law is a Toronto immigration practice run by Andrea M. Prunariu, who is licensed by both the Law Society of Ontario and the State Bar of California and works on both Canadian and US matters. The practice covers temporary and permanent residence work on each side of the border, including work permits, family sponsorship, Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, and Canadian Experience Class), employment based green cards, and Canadian citizenship by descent claims under Bill C-3. Prunariu's legal education spans several countries: a bachelor's degree in economics from Budapest Business School, a public law scholarship from the Centre universitaire de Formation et de Recherche Jean-Francois Champollion in France, a Doctor of Law from Pazmany Peter Catholic University in Hungary, and a Master of Laws from Michigan State University College of Law.
The firm's name traces to the Latin word motivus, meaning moving, which its site explains as a nod to what moves someone to act. Motivus Law operates out of Wolf Law Chambers at 55 University Avenue in downtown Toronto, a shared chambers building where a group of independent lawyers each run their own practice under one roof rather than as a single firm. Initial consultations run 30 minutes by video call for $250 CAD, credited toward the final invoice for clients who go on to retain the firm, and the firm asks for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule.

The neighbourhood
Motivus Law's office sits at 55 University Avenue, Suite 1100, on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Wellington Street in Toronto's financial district. The building connects directly to St. Andrew subway station and to the underground PATH network, so a client coming downtown for a meeting doesn't need to deal with street level traffic to get there. The office itself is part of Wolf Law Chambers, a chambers style arrangement where several independent lawyers each run a separate practice out of the same suite rather than sharing a firm name or files, which keeps overhead lean for a small immigration practice like this one.
Frequently asked questions
- I have a Canadian grandparent but was born outside Canada. Can Motivus Law help me get citizenship by descent?
- Yes. The firm handles Bill C-3 citizenship by descent claims for people born abroad before December 15, 2025 who were previously excluded by the first generation limit. A lawyer at the firm reviews the family's timeline against the version of the Citizenship Act that was in force at each ancestor's birth, since this is proof of citizenship someone already holds rather than an application for a new grant.
- Can Motivus Law help me apply for permanent residence through Express Entry?
- Yes. The firm works on Express Entry applications under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class, and helps with the profile, the application after an Invitation to Apply, and follow up support.
- Does Motivus Law only handle Canadian cases, or can it help with a US visa or green card too?
- Both. Founder Andrea M. Prunariu is licensed by the Law Society of Ontario and the State Bar of California, and the firm works on US matters such as visitor and business visas, intra company transfers, family sponsorship, and employment based green cards alongside its Canadian immigration files.
- I want to sponsor a fiance or spouse for a US visa. Does the firm handle that?
- Yes. Motivus Law works on US family based petitions, including spousal and fiance(e) visas, whether the process runs through adjustment of status inside the US or consular processing abroad.
- What does an initial consultation cost and how long is it?
- It's a 30 minute virtual meeting for $250 CAD. If you go on to retain the firm, that fee is credited against your final invoice, and Motivus Law asks for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule.
- Where is Motivus Law located, and do I need to come in person?
- The office is at 55 University Avenue in downtown Toronto, inside Wolf Law Chambers, a building with direct access to St. Andrew subway station. Consultations are held virtually by video call, so an in person visit isn't required to get started.
