Help Samantha with work-permit appeal filing and attorney fees
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Samantha can't afford the lawyer.
🇨🇦 London, Ontario, CanadaPosted Jul 31, 2026730 views
Samantha is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Samantha has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the London Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Samantha 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 $2,950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,300
• Filing and biometrics fees: $390
• Certified translations and document copies: $170
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90

Hang in there, Alyssa. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
