Legal fees for Waylon's family reunification petition in Brampton
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Waylon can't afford the lawyer.
🇨🇦 L6P 5C6, Brampton, Ontario, Canada1,598 views
Waylon is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Waylon has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Brampton Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Waylon 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 $2,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,850
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $180
• Filing and biometrics fees: $670
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Adeline. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 18 people at work. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Adeline. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Adeline. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Konya so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Bakersfield
