Immigration Law

Immigration Law Program

Calgary Legal Guidance offers legal advice and assistance to newcomers who are looking for help with various immigration law matters.

**The Program focuses on assisting clients with:

Making a claim for refugee protection.
Sponsoring your family to come to Canada.
Immigration options for victims of family violence.

You may be eligible, if you meet CLG’s income guidelines.

Please email the Program at: Immigration@clg.ab.ca for an assessment.

**Please note that contacting the Program for assistance with the above issues or another immigration law issue does not mean it can assist you. The Program will assess each inquiry on a case-by-case basis, and the Program will either:

Provide assistance,
Refer you to private counsel, or,
Refer you to contact one of our free Legal Advice Outreach Clinics for brief summary advice.

The Outreach Clinic will do an intake and verify your income. If you are found eligible for services, you will be able to talk to a volunteer immigration lawyer for 30 minutes over the phone to discuss your immigration concerns. Please note that the Outreach Clinic is only for preliminary advice/information. The Clinics do not offer full representation on your matter, and the Clinics do not review forms and applications.
