About Law Office of Luxmi Vasan

Law Office of Luxmi Vasan is a solo immigration and refugee law practice based in Scarborough, in Toronto's east end. Packialuxmi (Luxmi) Vasan, Barrister and Solicitor, leads the firm, which handles family sponsorship, refugee protection and asylum claims, appeals before the Immigration Appeal Division and the Refugee Appeal Division, and permanent residency and citizenship applications. The firm also takes on real estate law, including residential and commercial purchases, sales, and refinancing. Legal services are offered in Tamil, English, and Sinhalese.

Vasan earned a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka, then accredited the degree to practice in Canada. Earlier in a legal and settlement career that now spans more than 17 years, Vasan worked in Toronto's settlement sector, helping newcomers with legal information, referrals, and language support, and contributed to multilingual hotlines, mental health research, and disaster relief efforts after SARS and the Indian Ocean tsunami. After qualifying to practice in Canada, Vasan joined immigration lawyer Lorne Waldman's team on the representation of MV Sun Sea asylum seekers in British Columbia. The firm's own site also describes Vasan's path to law as shaped by personal experience escaping Sri Lanka's civil war before rebuilding a life in Canada.
