Business and immigration often meet: hiring foreign workers, intra-company transfers, or starting a business after you arrive. One lawyer can see both sides of your plan.
Arrested or charged? Speak to a lawyer before you speak to anyone else.
You have the right to remain silent and the right to a lawyer. Use both. We act on assault, domestic assault, impaired driving, theft, fraud and bail matters.
Not a Canadian citizen?
A criminal conviction, and sometimes the length of a sentence, can affect permanent residence, work permits and citizenship. We plan your defence with your immigration status in mind from day one.

At your consultation, you learn your options, the deadlines, the likely cost and what we recommend.
We get to work
If you retain us, you receive a written fee agreement and regular updates until the matter is resolved.
How long do you have to challenge an IRCC refusal?
The Federal Court deadline is 15 days for decisions made in Canada and 60 days for decisions made outside Canada. Enter the date you learned of the decision.
An estimate for planning only, not legal advice. The day you were notified is not counted (Interpretation Act, s. 27). Weekends, statutory holidays and Federal Court registry closures are flagged. For IRB decisions (RPD, RAD, IAD, ID), time runs from the later of notice of the decision or the written reasons (IRPA, s. 169(f)). For emailed or portal decisions, count from the earliest date the decision was sent to you or your representative.
What clients say
“I contacted Jatinder for my parents' PR application after it was rejected even after the reconsideration request. He explained everything so well in the judicial review that within a week we got positive feedback about the file. Can't thank him enough for doing such a wonderful job!”
“We bought our first home in Kitchener, Ontario, and Jatinder was amazing throughout the process. He helped us buy directly from the seller, which saved us a lot in realtor costs. There were a few issues with our mortgage, but he handled them calmly and kept us informed at every step. He even negotiated an extension of the closing date when needed.”
“Kataria Law Chambers provided outstanding support and guidance during the purchase of my first home. Jatinder made a complex process feel completely manageable. I highly recommend their services.”
“I really want to thank Jatinder Kataria for the successful closing of the deal. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cared about my case. I felt supported and confident throughout the process.”
