About Vitti Immigration Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Vitti Immigration Law is a Toronto immigration law firm founded by Paul (Palmerino) Vitti, a Barrister and Solicitor licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. Before starting the firm, Paul articled at a criminal defence firm, practiced employment law on human rights and wrongful termination matters, and then moved into immigration law at other Toronto firms. The firm now handles the full range of Canadian immigration work: study and work permits, permanent residency, spousal and common law sponsorship, Express Entry, humanitarian and compassionate applications, and judicial review of refused applications at the Federal Court.

The firm keeps a small team so files stay with a licensed immigration professional rather than being passed around, and clients see their completed application before it's submitted. Team lead Talia Joundi earned an LL.M. from York University, with a dissertation on immigration and refugee law, and has appeared before the Refugee Protection Division, Refugee Appeal Division, Immigration Division, and Federal Court of Canada. Across the team, lawyers speak English, French, Arabic, basic Spanish, Korean, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Ukrainian, and Russian, which lets clients from a wide range of backgrounds work with a lawyer in their own language.

The neighbourhood

Vitti Immigration Law's Toronto office is inside Wolf Law Chambers, a shared workspace for independent legal practitioners, at 55 University Avenue, Suite 1100. The building sits at University Avenue and Wellington Street in the Financial District and connects directly into the PATH pedestrian network and the St. Andrew subway station, so clients coming from across the city or from the suburbs by transit can reach the office without needing a car. Wolf Law Chambers houses several independent lawyers under one roof who each practice on their own rather than as partners in a shared firm, an arrangement that lets a small immigration practice like Vitti keep a downtown Toronto address without carrying the overhead of a standalone office.

Frequently asked questions

Can Vitti Immigration Law help sponsor my spouse or common law partner?
Yes. The firm handles spousal and common law sponsorship applications for permanent residency, and helps sponsors document a genuine relationship through correspondence, photos, travel records, and financial history. Sponsors need to be 18 or older, be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, have no bankruptcy or serious criminal record, and be able to support their partner financially for three years after approval, though there's no set minimum income. The firm charges a flat fee rather than billing by the hour for this work.
My study permit application was refused. Can the firm help?
Yes. Vitti Immigration Law reviews the visa officer's GCMS notes to work out why an application was refused, then prepares a stronger reapplication that addresses those specific concerns. If the original application was strong and was refused unfairly, the firm can also pursue judicial review at the Federal Court instead of reapplying.
Can Vitti Immigration Law take my case to the Federal Court?
The firm represents clients in judicial review before the Federal Court of Canada when a visa or immigration decision was unreasonable. There are strict deadlines, 60 days if the application was made outside Canada and 15 days if it was made inside Canada, and the court will only look at the material that was already in the original application. The firm is candid that judicial review is difficult to win and reserved for strong applications that were refused unjustly; where the original application had gaps, a fresh reapplication is usually the better route, and a consultation can help work out which path fits.
Does Vitti Immigration Law review my application before I submit it?
Yes, through a paid application review service. A lawyer examines the application for CAD $900 and delivers a written report within 3 business days flagging mistakes, omissions, and missing documents, followed by a consultation with the reviewing lawyer to go over the findings.
What languages does the Vitti Immigration Law team speak?
Across the team, lawyers cover English, French, Arabic, basic Spanish, Korean, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Ukrainian, and Russian, so many clients can work with a lawyer directly in their own language rather than through an interpreter.
Where is Vitti Immigration Law and who actually handles my file?
The office is at 55 University Avenue, Suite 1100, in downtown Toronto. The firm says a licensed immigration professional handles every file directly, with communication running through Paul Vitti and the team from the start rather than being routed through assistants.
