At Grace Allen Immigration Law we practice exclusively in all matters pertaining to Canadian immigration.


We are pleased to offer services for temporary residents, whether they’re coming to Canada to visit, work or study.  We also offer legal services in permanent residence applications for skilled workers, foreign national spouses, provincial nominees, and protected persons.

It is important to us that our clients understand each step of their immigration journey.  For that reason, we charge flat fees for most of our services.  We want our clients to be comfortable to pick up the phone or shoot us an email without worrying about increasing the cost of their legal fees.

We understand the significant degree of reliance and dependence that comes with entrusting us with your immigration file, and we take that trust seriously. 

What People Are Saying


“Grace has been nothing short of fantastic. She has not only guided me and my wife through our Immigration experience, but has also gone above and beyond for us on multiple occasions. She has made sure to answer any questions we might ever ask as soon as she sees them, and has been incredibly understanding of our ever chaotic living situation as we have been working through our application. I always feel bad calling her our lawyer when I am asked how my immigration status is going, as she feels more like a close friend with how well she has both treated us and our legal needs. ”

Grace Allen was very professional and kept me updated with the process. She was true to setting expectations and very honest, which I really appreciated. My experience with Grace was very pleasant from day 1 and didn’t feel like I was just a number, she genuinely cared and there were several road blocks but she went above and beyond.

In addition to being a wonderful person she is, kind and humble, she was very knowledgeable, patient, and responsive and guided me through very well.

I will not hesitate in recommending Grace Allen to anyone needing an immigration lawyer.

I am glad that I went to Grace for my Spousal application. Grace is an amazing lawyer who can guide you with your application and find out things which are very subtle and only an expert would be able to find that. She clearly explained how to make a stronger application. She is extremely knowledgeable and genuine in her concerns and does not treat you as just another client. I highly recommend Grace for any matter related to immigration.

The only reason I am leaving 5 stars is because there is not a higher rating! Grace is attentive, patient and super eloquent. She is also extremely transparent and pragmatic when it comes to the situation that is before her. I went to her with a slightly more complicated query, and she very clear outlined the situation as it stood, what I needed to do, and the various outcomes. Collaborative and calm, she is your go-to Immigration Lawyer. Thank you, Grace
— D.M.

Grace carefully gave us an honest appraisal of our immigration situation and presented us with several possible options to pursue. She listened to us and was exceedingly generous with her time. This is what you hope for in a lawyer.

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I happily would! My husband and I sought out Grace's Immigration Lawyer services when we were really struggling with some complexities in our spousal sponsorship application and were feeling highly stressed/worried. Not only was Grace very knowledgeable and professional, but she also has a down-to-earth, empathetic touch that made all the difference to us as we navigated the process. She was thorough and realistic in explaining all of our options and potential outcomes, and she was readily available for consultation, appointments, and meetings in a timely manner. We are glad to say that my husband now has his permanent residency, and we have Grace to thank for all of the insightful help she provided through the process! I highly recommend her to everybody.”

My husband and I went into our virtual meeting with Grace nervous and unsure of which visa to pursue (for my foreign husband). We had SO many questions, I had them all written down on this massive piece of paper and she answered all of them.

Grace was so kind, personable, and gracious with us. She was patient, she didn’t rush through the call, and gave us her full attention. After our call she followed-up with an email containing links and her personal explanantions of what to do and which parts to read, etc.

I also have to give credit to her assistant Katie, she was also excellent in the pre-appointment emails. She too answered all of my questions, clarified when I asked, and was gracious when I made an error in my info and had to re-send. They make a great duo and I’m so excited for them in their new business.

Note - We had a Skype consultation (paid) with Grace, and will absolutely be working with her again to review our completed application before submission. She is worth every penny and more!

We would highly recommend her to anyone inquiring or seriously pursuing immigrating to Canada, especially Nova Scotia.

You are doing great things, Grace!

Grace is highly qualified and knowledgeable. She really knows immigration laws inside out and if she does not know something she knows how to look it up very fast. We had a question and we looked up for an answer all over the Internet, we contacted some lawyers but only Grace gave us a correct and reassuring answer.
Put professional capability aside, and more important than all of what I mentioned, is that she is kind, approachable, very helpful, and was really honest with us. She could have easily charged much more than what she did. Thanks Grace for your help.
