Help Jennifer with work-permit appeal filing and attorney fees
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Jennifer can't afford the lawyer.
🇨🇦 Mississauga, Ontario, Canada2,555 views
Jennifer is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Jennifer has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Mississauga Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Jennifer could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,450
• Filing and biometrics fees: $490
• Certified translations and document copies: $165
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $95
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. After 27 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Port Harcourt.
