About Salam Law
Salam Law is a one lawyer immigration and refugee law practice in Toronto, run by founder John A. Salam, a barrister and solicitor who holds a B.Sc., LL.B. and J.D. The firm's focus is narrow: Canadian immigration and refugee law. Beyond preparing immigration and refugee applications, it takes on appeals and judicial reviews of refused or negative decisions, work that keeps the practice active in Federal Court as well as at the application stage. Salam is listed as a member of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association (CILA), where the firm's stated languages of service are English, French, and Arabic, and its listed practice areas include immigration litigation, refugee, humanitarian, and citizenship matters.
The firm's own site names two Federal Court judicial review matters as examples of that litigation work: Rodriguez Cabellos v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2019 FC 40, and Csiklya v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2019 FC 1276, both immigration and refugee decisions. The office is at 255 Main Street in Toronto, and the firm sees clients by appointment.
Practice areas
Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Salam Law's office is in a nine storey, 128 unit apartment building at 255 Main Street, not a typical law office tower, which fits a one lawyer practice that meets clients by appointment. The building sits right at the intersection of Main Street and Danforth Avenue, in the part of Toronto's east end known as Danforth Village or East Danforth, a short walk from the Main Street subway station and about 300 metres from the Danforth GO station.
The wider East Danforth area is served by six subway stations along Line 2, from Donlands to Victoria Park, with Main Street among them. For clients travelling from across the city for an immigration matter, having both a subway stop and a GO station within a short walk is a real convenience that many neighbourhood law offices don't offer.
