QUESTIONNAIRE
In Hassouna et al v. Canada (MCI) 2017 FC 473, my office worked with other counsel to successfully strike down as unconstitutional certain citizenship revocation laws that targeted immigrants who had committed some form of fraud during the citizenship application process. In Ge et al. v. Canada (MCI) 2017 FC 594, my office worked with other counsel to overturn as unfair the refusal of 57 immigration applications on the basis that they had not provided use of representative forms listing an unlicensed immigration representative.

Cases
I'll recommend Matthew Jeffery if you want to file immigration applications. His knowledge and experience made the process smooth. You don't have to have any knowledge about the process, just follow steps which are well organized. Matthew and his team were very responsive in answering any type of questions I asked, even stupid ones. But please still review your application forms carefully. It's still your responsibility to review your own application. 5-stars service!
Scott Silber
Fantastic, straightforward service throughout. All the staff were helpful and pleasant to deal with at all points in the process and made my adjustment of sponsorship application so much easier. My partner and I are delighted with the result and would easily recommend Matthew to anyone. If you're looking for people who really take the time to know your case and give you first-class service, there's really no one else worth considering!
