I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,700. 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 Mississauga Welcome 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,650
• Filing and biometrics fees: $740
• Certified translations and document copies: $220
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

Hang in there, Theodore. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Antalya.
Take care, Theodore. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
