Our clients love our work
Yesterday I got a Canadian visa in passport and COPR. I would like to thank Tatiana and Eugeniya from Legally Canadian. Their expertise, knowledge and professionalism were indispensable. I do recommend them. They are the best.
Our family would like to thank Jenny and Leo, they have helped my mother. I highly recommend using Legally Canadian.
Hi Jenny and Leo I would love to this opportunity to thank you and Leo once again for all your help and inform you guys that I am now fully Canadian, took my oath on the 5 of this month, and it’s all because of your good work forever grateful. Your expertise and ability to see around the corner have turned around what was once a doomed and gloomy case into a success and I am truly grateful thanks a million.
I recently retained Legally Canadian for my matter. Leo did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend this firm. I received timely responses and exceptional service at a very reasonable and affordable price. Jenny and Leo really care about their clients, which is rare to find in this day and age. HIGHLY recommend.

I am immensely grateful for professionalism and dedication of Evguenia Rokhline & Leo Rayner, who helped us to overcome all the adversity of bureaucracy and disbelief of IRCC in my pursuit to obtain OWP.
I am sure, we could get my visa much faster and less costly if only we knew about their team at the very beginning of our endeavor.
Leo and Jenny have thoroughly studied all the aspects of our case and developed the plane to resolve all the difficulties, relying on basis of law and truly facts. Their comprehensive and honest approach resulted in successful and desirable outcome.
Thank you for your great job!
I’ve gotten the most important thing – a positive result so would recommend them
I highly ( and i mean highly) recommend legally canadian to anyone needing immigration representation. I was in a tough spot with immigration about to be deported. I was detained for 7 months and not only was i successful in being released, i was was also successful in my approval for my PR. I am so thankful to jenny who fought for me. She always responded to every question i had and made the process easier for me. Over the years i have had many lawyers but jenny surpasses them all. Thank you and god bless.
Tatiana Emanuel did an amazing job! Highly recommend!!
She is an amazing lawyer. She has helped me numerous times. She responds in a very timely manner, and she is extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. The experience has been amazing, and I would not consider going anywhere else. Thank you!!
I am extremely and beyond happy that I found Legally Canadian. Especially after being told that my case was almost impossible to win. Definitely not impossible for Legally Canadian. I had the pleasure of working with Tatiana Emanuel. She is awesome and amazing. She took my case and went above and beyond to represent me. She knows her stuff and she replied to my emails promptly and I must say I never met a lawyer that responds as quickly as she does. My result was positive and I cannot thank her enough. I am very grateful for Tatiana. I recommend her and her firm 100%. Thanks Tatiana.
I would like to thank Jenny and Leo for the great work the’ve done for my mom. It was my second experience with “Legally Canadian” and both cases have been handled exceptionally professionally.
Not a single detail has been overlooked, communication was very prompt. If anyone is asking me to recommend an immigration lawyer- I always recommend “Legally Canadian”. All the best to you Jenny and Leo – you are a great team.
We had very complicated case of Humanitarian application. All work was done in shortest times. And Jenny and Leo very patient and professional. From time of the application to the moment of getting PR took only 4 months! Great job guys! Well done and we definitely will recommend u to others!
Good work ethic and reliable. I am happy with result. Thank you
I highly recommend Tatiana and the team at Legallycanadian. Professional and experienced. Patient. They follow up to make sure I was receiving the service I needed. Highly recommended
Special thanks to Tatiana. Telling all my friends about her.
Tatiana was our lawyer, she listened to us without a single judgement. She worked her butt off to get the case through. Our case was a bit complicated she even said it on the first meeting how weak it was. But she worked it out very well and finally we got a positive result. I would use her over and over again in this life.
I would like to thank Jenny for all her help and guidance in securing my permanent resident status. She is a professional who knows the permanent residence process very well and really cares about her clients! I have yet to meet a lawyer who is as punctual and dedicated to his/her clients as much as she is.
I first heard about Legally Canadian through a friend, as my now husband was hoping to move to Canada from Australia so we could be together. During our consultation Jenny was very helpful in correcting the misinformation a different lawyer had told me, and she patiently answered all of my questions. The fact that she didn’t pressure me to sign with her firm, but was more interested in answering my questions, that ultimately made me decide to go with Legally Canadian. We worked with Leo during the process of our Spousal Sponsorship Application and he was wonderful! He responded to questions right away with detailed answers, he was always on top of the most update to forms and policies, and gave us great feedback on all the supportive documentation we supplied. My husband’s PR was approved yesterday afternoon, and Leo called to tell us the good news over the phone first instead of just forwarding us the information. It’s the little human details like that, that made me want to write this review. Thank you to Jenny and Leo for all your help!!!
I have to say this is the most professional ,honest , responsible, team that I have ever worked with, they did all the best to my mom got her PR and we are happy because our family is all together for us to be all reunite her is Gold for our family values , we are so happy with Jenny and Tatiana, they were there for us , they are a team that they see you as a human , and they work with you through everything, , for me they see your heart before anything else, I will recommend them with eyes close , we work in Covid times when everything was just over the phone and emails and I have to say they organization is amazing, Congratulations to the team ofLegally Canadian God Bless you guys
Leo was our lawyer and he was outstanding. He was very professional- timely and detailed in his responses to questions. Applying for PR is a difficult process and it was so helpful to have expert support.

Immigration stories
These stories are based on real immigration challenges our clients have faced. All names were changed and details omitted to preserve privacy.
Deportation does not prevent a humanitarian application from being approved
Deportation does not always mean that your chances to remain in Canada are nil. When a strong application is filed on time and properly, there is a chance that you will be able to return to Canada as a resident.
After some corrections, a refugee claimant gets their status without a hearing
Proper knowledge of law and procedure will have a higher chance of leading you to the desired result. While community members might mean their best, it is not wise to rely on them for legal advice.
Spousal sponsorship with a significant age difference
All forms of marriage are equal, but for Immigration Canada, some are more equal than others.
Work permit or Visitor visa for a spouse of an international student
There is a reason why you hire an immigration lawyer – you plan to use their knowledge and expertise to succeed in your case. Often your lawyer knows better. Hear them out.
