About Vayalilkollattu Law

Vayalilkollattu Law is a small immigration, refugee, and citizenship law practice based in Peterborough, Ontario, with a satellite office in Scarborough. Barrister and solicitor Tyna A. Vayalilkollattu leads the firm and holds a degree in international law from Kingston University London in the UK, along with a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of British Columbia. Vayalilkollattu is a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the Canadian Bar Association, and the Ontario Bar Association, and has appeared before the Immigration and Refugee Board and the Federal Court of Canada on appeals, judicial reviews, and removal and enforcement matters.

The firm's caseload spans the full range of Canadian immigration law: family sponsorship, Express Entry and other economic immigration streams, refugee claims and sponsorships from outside Canada, humanitarian and compassionate applications, temporary residence, and citizenship applications. It also handles enforcement matters such as detention reviews and removal defence. Outside its immigration practice, the firm offers notary and mobile signing agent services for real estate, loan, and other legal documents, and free consultations run Monday through Thursday. The team also includes a paralegal and a client services coordinator, each trained in a specific stream such as spousal sponsorship or Express Entry.

The neighbourhood

The Peterborough office sits at 398 McDonnel Street, on a stretch of road that runs from Monaghan Street east to the Otonabee River and marks the northern edge of the city's downtown core. The same building is also home to Aviemore, giving the block more of a small city, street level feel than a formal office tower setting.

Vayalilkollattu Law also keeps a second office in Scarborough, in a multi-suite commercial building on Ellesmere Road, giving clients in the Greater Toronto Area a closer point of contact without moving the firm's base away from Peterborough.
