Immigration Appeals Lawyer Scarborough

Matthew Jeffery is pleased to be offering his services as an immigration lawyer to Scarborough, Ontario. With over 625,000 residents, this former municipality now makes up roughly one fifth of the population of the city of present day Toronto, which was created from the amalgamation with Toronto, Scarborough and four other municipalities in 1998.

Scarborough, Ontario is named after Scarborough, England. It got its name from Elizabeth Simcoe, the wife of the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, who observed the beautiful white cliffs known as the “Scarborough bluffs” and thought they resembled the cliffs near her home in England.

Scarborough is a multicultural hotbed in what is known as one of the most diverse cities in the world. It’s affordable housing prices and accepting culture make it one of the most popular destinations for new immigrants to Canada, with nearly 60% of its residents being foreign born and nearly 70% belonging to a visible minority.

However, immigration isn’t as simple as packing up your things and moving to another country. There is a complex series of laws and regulations you must follow. It can be enough of a challenge moving to a new country, taking in a new culture, and establishing a new job without trying to decipher the legal jargon of immigration law.

This is where Matthew Jeffery can help. Serving as both a barrister and solicitor (meaning he can give you legal advice/counsel as well as represent you in court), Mr. Jeffery specializes in all facets of immigration law including applications for permanent residence such as skilled workers applications, family sponsorships, Canadian experience class applications, as well as humanitarian cases. Matthew Jeffery will also handle your applications for temporary residence in Canada for work permits, student visas, and visitor visas. He can also help you to renew your permanent residence card or apply for citizenship.

Matthew Jeffery is a highly experienced lawyer who is certified by the Law Society of Upper Canada as a Specialist in Immigration Law and authorized by the government of Canada to both counsel and represent clients on all immigration legal matters.

With over fifteen years’ experience and countless success stories, Matthew Jeffery will help you to navigate the immigration system to get the results you need. To discuss immigration matters, call us at 1-866-886-8014 to arrange a consultation at the cost of $150 per half hour.

The "Canadian Citizenship" application can be intimidating if you are not familiar with the proper steps to follow, in order to guarantee success. The Matthew Jeffery Law firm has given me total peace of mind by helping me with preparing my application and with the process as well (by making a complex and hard to understand process, easy to understand). I was assisted each step of the way, and informed of any new updates. The whole process was made simple and if I had a question, they were ready to explain. If you are looking for a firm which is very knowledgeable of the Citizenship application process, ready to answer your questions if you have any, staff who truly care of the outcome of your application, then this is the place to go. The Matthew Jeffery law firm is a God-sent!! I am also proud and happy to be able to call myself a "Canadian" now!!

I and my wife were in the deepest despair when we started to search legal help online for our immigration case which was declined along with some other 50+ applicants for the same reason. I did some research to see our chances and the more I learnt, the more hopeless I felt. Among many law firms I reached, Matthew's reply was the most honest and promising. Although lacking knowledge and understanding of Canadian immigration law, my instinct told me that Matthew is trustworthy and if anyone could do the impossible, it's him. The lawsuit took a couple of years. The wait was long and agonising but every now and then I received updates and further instructions from Matthew which brought me comfort. The result came victorious however the authority didn't wish to let go. There then were interview and procedural fairness letter which was frustrating and discouraging. Again I found not only legal help but also solace with Matthew, without them I might as well give up like others. Now that I'm writing this review in Canada all thanks to Matthew's expertise in immigration law but more importantly, his dedication and commitment for clients. If you are in need of any immigration or citizenship issue, Matthew's Law Firm is your best shot!

I am highly impressed by the highest level of professionalism and Knowledge demonstrated by the law office of Matthew Jeffery. I applied for Canadian Citizenship in 2014 and my file was on hold since 2016, the office of the Mp’s could not help to resolve the issue, I was only told to wait. Before I contacted the law office of Matthew Jeffery, I had wasted time and money with some other incompetent law office. I meet with Jeffery Matthew in March 2019. In April mandamus appeal was file, immediately after the appeal was filed immigration removed the hold placed on my application for almost 5 years and placed my application on “Fast track” and I became a Canadian CITIZEN In Approximately 2 months after Matthew Jeffery filled mandamus appeal . 5 year of wait was over in just two months. Matthew Jeffery law office is the Best. I strongly recommend his law office for a Timely and Positive Outcome. Mr. Matthew Jeffery YOU ARE THE BEST. Thanks.Andrew

I have a refugee status in Canada, I received Removal Order that stated that I have to leave Canada in 30 days. I called Matthew Jeffery right away asking what to do. He took over my case, we’ve sent an Appeal letter and got scheduled a meeting at Assignment Court. Matthew went there with me and convinced the IDA to consider my appeal based on humanitarian and compassionate grounds which allowed me to stay in Canada and proceed with my PR application. I really appreciate everything Matthew done for me!

I was referred to Matthew from friends who had successfully worked with him. He was direct and easy to work with from start to finish. I appreciated how upfront he was about the entire process, including requirements from me and the fee schedule as the process progressed. Mine was a very last minute application but he ensured we submitted on time, regardless. He also made the process much less stressful than it would have otherwise been and answered all my questions along the way. He was extremely professional to work with and I am so happy I chose Matthew, I highly recommend Matthew for the LMAI and PR application process. Thank you so much :-)

I found the law firm of Matthew Jeffery online and due to the great reviews, I decided to use the firm for my rehabilitation case. I find Matthew Jeffery to be an outstanding immigration firm, with incredibly brilliant and superbly professional, knowledgeable, attentive and dedicated to my case. If you are looking for a great immigration lawyer…..please look no further Mr Jeffery and his team is truly amazing. They are always available via email or phone to answer all questions in detail. I had a rehabilitation case which took exactly the same amount of time he mentioned when he took my case. During the process and because of the technicality of my case and the perfect submission including all required documents, it was only one single document request from the immigration office of which I knew I had to submitted later which had been submitted timely by John from Mr Jeffery’s team of lawyers followed by a letter from the consulate a day later confirming my rehabilitation eligibility. I'm very glad to choose Matthew Jeffery as my lawyer and highly recommend them for anyone has a problem with his/her immigration process. Thank you Mr. Jeffrey, John, Justin and Lina for your hard work in this case.Right from the start Mr. Jeffery was encouraging and whilst no guarantees quickly mapped out the approach he proposed to take my case to nab the rehabilitation process. Mr. Jeffrey’s team managed the process the whole way through and was excellent in their support and help, answering emails to queries outside working hours and guiding me through the whole process. The multiply pages of statement and encyclopedia of evidence that was put together was extremely professional and the outcome was that I received the approval earlier this week. Even had the process not worked out in favor, Mr Jeffery and John already had contingency plans on how to manage that, again excellent risk mitigation and client management skills put into this process.I will not hesitate in recommending Matthew law firm to anyone needing an immigration lawyer. Literally could not have done this without you John.These guys are well worth the money and the peace of mind. I had a lot of people referring me to different immigration lawyers and I am so happy that I picked these guys. I would like to thank the firm especially John and prior Justin (Articling Student) for everything they did in helping me getting my case approved. These guys really did make the whole process easier then I would have thought and a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend Mr. Matthew Jeffery’s law firm for any Immigration matters and cannot waiting to start my spousal sponsor with them very soon.

John handled our case and he was extremely efficient. He provided timely updates and responded to all questions in a timely fashion as well. John has a good knowledge about Immigration laws and as such was able to guide us accordingly as our case wasnt exactly straightforward. He ensured that all required documents were submitted and that all forms were filled out correctly. Our process took less than a year and that is highly commendable. I would recommend John and the rest of the team at Matthew Jeffrey's law office in a heartbeat. Thanks again!

I used Matthew Jeffrey’s legal services for my husband’s appeal process and I am so glad I did! I wish I would have done this from the beginning of the sponsorship process but I’m happy I had the team on my side when it mattered.

Highly recommend!

We reached out to Mr. Jeffery's firm a few years ago to inquire about common law sponsorship for permanent residency. At the time Mr. Jeffery answered all of our questions and we were quite happy with the service provided. My partner and I underestimating how difficult the process was decided to try making the application ourselves. After a few years of starting and stopping our work we finally decided to retain Mr. Jeffery's firm. We should have done so sooner, his firm, and our case worker John Laman, made the process incredibly efficient. There were many parts of the application my partner and I were not interpreting correctly. John made sure our application was complete and free of errors, and it was approved well within the twelve-month timeline the government of Canada suggests. Besides ensuring we had an error free application John provided a peace of mind during the process. He was able to quickly answer all our questions about the process, such as the viability of our travel plans during the holidays.For any future immigration work, such as the citizenship applications, we will retain the services of Mr. Jeffery firm and hope to work with John in the future.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of dealing with a young professional by the name of John Laman. The whole immigration process can be a very complicated one. I, for one, find the whole process a bit confusing at times because of all the rules and regulations BUT John was very helpful and thorough throughout the entire process. He explained everything in great detail and made the process pretty easy to handle and digest. John did a great job and was extremely efficient in handling this. Everything went faster than expected. John kept up a frequent and open line of communication where we experienced super fast communication and updates. Needless to say that this experience was better than expected of getting our PR card because of John's hard work and efficiency. I definitely felt comfortable the entire time knowing that our case was in good hands. For all future immigration dealings, I will be calling these guys. Thank you again, John! We both greatly appreciate everything you have done for us!
