Legal fees for Mathilde's wrongful-eviction defense in Mississauga
Mathilde needs $700 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the March deadline.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada791 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at the Mississauga Community Legal Centre has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
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 $700 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $130
• Filing and biometrics fees: $470
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mathilde
It's all in the list in the story. certified translations and document copies is the big one at $130, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family, Mathilde. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Orlando.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Mississauga
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. God bless

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mathilde?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about certified translations and document copies, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
rooting for you, Mathilde. I hope things turn around soon. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Rooting for you, Mathilde. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Mississauga.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from San Francisco
