Ravi Jain, B.A. (Hons.), LL.B., LL.M., C.S., Partner,
Green & Spiegel, Barristers and Solicitors,
Toronto, Ontario

Mr. Jain is truly unique as he is certainly one of the few, and may be the only lawyer in Canada, to have formally studied both Canadian and American immigration law. He is also a Certified Specialist in immigration law (only a small percentage of immigration lawyers have this designation). He graduated at the top of his program from Queen's University, Ontario, Canada and then attended the Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, Ontario where he was selected to participate in the Intensive Program in Immigration and Refugee Law. Mr. Jain then gained admission to the Masters program at the University of Michigan, Law School, Michigan, USA where he studied international law.
Mr. Jain has been a frequent consultant on numerous media networks, a guest lecturer at Seneca College and has lectured on U.S. consular processing for the New York Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers' Association. He was recently invited by the Canadian Senate to appear as an expert witness. He is a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Immigration Section of the Canadian and Ontario Bar Associations, the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce. He is also currently chair of the Immigration Section of the North American South Asian Bar Association.
Unlike many immigration legal specialists, Mr. Jain bills his clients on a fixed fee basis, rather than an hourly rate.
Ravi Jain is highly recommended by CanAm to our Clients because he has a proven track record of providing efficient, fair and cost effective immigration solution services.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Immigration lawyers do not merely fill out immigration-related forms. In fact, immigration law is extraordinarily complex, not unlike tax law. Immigration law also changes quite rapidly. What can seem like a fairly simple situation can in fact be quite nuanced. An immigration lawyer can ask the right questions and provide insight into all aspects of a client's predicament and then provide advice as to all available options.
Many people believe that they can save money by filing their application on their own only to later learn that they filed their application at the wrong place or with incomplete materials, etc. This can lead to delays which cost the applicants time and sometimes money (e.g., in lost Canadian wages). An immigration lawyer can ensure that a case is filed in a complete way at the right place and can sometimes assist in speeding the case along.
Many clients assume that the Immigration Department is there to help them and that any deficiencies in their application should be fairly easily rectified. Unfortunately, this is absolutely not true. Many officers see themselves as 'gatekeepers' and are only too willing to refuse a case for relatively minor errors. This can result in very serious consequences. Also, advice given by Immigration Department officials is often misleading or inaccurate. Most officers do not have a law school degree and yet they are expected to field questions on every aspect of citizenship, immigration and refugee law! Common sense reveals that officers attending 'call centre' telephone lines cannot be expected to know every nuance of this complex area of law and cannot be expected to provide the best strategic advice.

For these and many more reasons CanAm strongly encourages you to contact:
