03
Representation
Careful execution, proactive communication at every milestone, and considered counsel through to resolution.
What clients say
Trust earned,
matter by matter.
The measure of our work is whether clients return when life changes again, and whether they send the people they care about. We are grateful that they do.
Sidak handled my Express Entry application end to end. She walked me through every form in Punjabi, answered late-night messages, and got my PR within seven months. I have already referred three friends.
We bought our first home in Barrhaven and were anxious about the closing. Sidak reviewed every page of the agreement, caught two title issues, and kept us calm. Closing day felt like a formality because of her.
Going through a separation was the hardest year of my life. Sidak gave me realistic advice, never pushed me toward unnecessary court time, and the agreement she drafted has held up perfectly.
Sidak prepared our wills, powers of attorney, and our daughter’s guardianship designation. The whole package was flat-fee with no surprises, and she explained every clause in plain language.

Common questions
Questions clients
frequently ask.
Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often. For anything specific to your matter, please book a consultation.
How much does an initial consultation cost?
Initial consultations are offered at a flat, transparent rate that is communicated when you book. The full fee is credited toward your retainer if you proceed with our representation. We do not charge for brief enquiries that do not require legal analysis.
Do you offer services in Punjabi or Hindi?
Yes. Sidak personally provides counsel in Punjabi, Hindi, and English. All written documentation is prepared in English to satisfy court and registry requirements, but every meeting, phone call, and explanation can be conducted in your preferred language.
How quickly will you respond after I submit the contact form?
You will receive an automatic acknowledgement within minutes, and a personal response from Sidak within one business day. Time-sensitive matters — closings within 48 hours, deportation orders, and emergency injunctions — receive priority response, typically within hours.
What areas of immigration law do you handle?
Express Entry and PNP applications, spousal and family sponsorship, work and study permits, post-graduation work permits, citizenship applications, and refusal/appeals. We do not currently handle refugee claims or detention reviews; for those matters we will refer you to a trusted colleague.
Can you handle a real estate closing remotely?
Yes. Most residential closings in Ontario can be completed entirely by video conference and electronic signature. We coordinate with your lender, real estate agent, and the seller’s lawyer so you do not need to travel to our office. In-person closings remain available by request.
How are your legal fees structured?
We use flat fees for predictable matters such as real estate closings, will preparation, simple incorporations, and most immigration applications. For litigation, family disputes, or complex estate work where scope is uncertain, we work on hourly billing with a clear retainer and itemised invoicing. You will always have a written fee agreement before work begins.
Do you serve clients outside Ottawa?
For immigration matters, we represent clients across Canada and internationally. For Ontario-specific work — real estate, wills, family law, business law — we serve clients throughout Ottawa, the National Capital Region, and Eastern Ontario. Out-of-province clients with Ontario matters are also welcome.
