About Zarei Law
One of the highest-rated law firms in Toronto, going by its Google reviews.
Zarei Law is an immigration law firm based in Toronto's North York district. It was founded by Amir Zarei, who leads the practice as founder and CEO, alongside a team of associate lawyers who handle temporary and permanent residence matters, from work permits and study permits to visitor visas and permanent residency applications under the skilled worker and sponsorship streams.
What sets the practice apart is its Federal Court litigation work. Beyond preparing new applications, Zarei Law represents clients seeking judicial review of refused or unreasonably delayed decisions from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, and it files mandamus applications when a case has stalled without a ruling. The firm has published summaries of several of its own Federal Court results, including a quashed work permit refusal in Pal v. Canada, a quashed study permit refusal in Kazemi v. Canada, and a quashed misrepresentation finding on a temporary resident visa in Nanikova v. Canada. In each case the court agreed the original refusal wasn't reasonable and sent the file back for a fresh decision.
Practice areas

- The firm won judicial review of a refused study permit in Kazemi v. Canada, 2024 FC 2067, after the Federal Court found the visa officer hadn't properly weighed the applicant's ties outside Canada.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The office is on Yonge Street in Toronto's North York district, a stretch of the corridor lined with residential and office towers that carry ground floor commercial space, part of the transition between the downtown core and the York Region boundary further north. Zarei Law works with clients by phone, WhatsApp, and consultations booked through its website, a setup suited to a practice built around Federal Court filings and application casework rather than walk-in service.
Frequently asked questions
- My work permit or study permit application was refused. Can Zarei Law help?
- Yes. Zarei Law represents clients seeking judicial review of refused temporary resident applications at the Federal Court. In Pal v. Canada the firm argued a work permit refusal was unreasonable, and in Kazemi v. Canada it did the same for a refused study permit. Both refusals were quashed and sent back for a new decision.
- IRCC has had my application for a long time with no decision. What can Zarei Law do?
- The firm files mandamus applications at the Federal Court to push Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada toward a decision on an application that has stalled without a ruling.
- I was told my documents were fraudulent and now I'm facing a misrepresentation finding. Can Zarei Law help?
- The firm has represented clients in this situation. In Nanikova v. Canada, Zarei Law challenged a misrepresentation finding based on bank statements a visa officer called fraudulent, and the Federal Court quashed the refusal because the officer hadn't given the applicants clear notice of the concern.

- Yes. The firm assists with permanent residency applications, including skilled worker and sponsorship pathways, alongside its Federal Court litigation work.
