About The Law Office of Tià Sherene McCalla

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

The Law Office of Tia Sherene McCalla is a Toronto immigration law firm run by lawyer Tia Sherene McCalla, who built the practice from the ground up rather than joining an established firm. McCalla holds a B.A. (Hons.) from the University of Toronto and a J.D. from the University of Windsor, and belongs to the Law Society of Ontario, the Canadian Bar Association, the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association, and the Criminal Lawyers Association. McCalla's grandparents, and later parents, came to Canada, and growing up around that family history is part of what pointed a legal career toward immigration work.

The firm's practice covers the full immigration file: Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program applications, family sponsorship (spousal, dependent child, parent and grandparent, and adopted child), work and study permits, and citizenship applications, as well as the harder end of the docket when an application goes wrong, including refusal reconsiderations, inadmissibility issues, removal order and sponsorship appeals, and judicial review at the Federal Court. Clients are served both in person, from an office on Dundas Street West in downtown Toronto, and virtually, for people located elsewhere in Canada or abroad.

Practice areas

In the community

  • The firm publishes a blog explaining Canadian immigration procedures, with posts on topics such as reconsideration requests, misrepresentation and inadmissibility, and how a criminal record can affect a family sponsorship appeal.

The neighbourhood

The office is on Dundas Street West in downtown Toronto and operates by appointment only. That fits how the firm actually works: consultations and case work are also offered virtually, for clients who are elsewhere in Canada or applying from another country and never need to walk into the building at all.
