Help Léa with residency renewal filing and attorney fees
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Léa can't afford the lawyer.
🇨🇦 Canada5,002 views
Léan is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,750. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Léa has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Mississauga Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Léa 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,800
• Filing and biometrics fees: $560
• Certified translations and document copies: $240
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150
With deep gratitude,
Olivier

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mississauga.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Rajkot
