Immigration Lawyer in Mississauga

A licensed immigration lawyer for Mississauga

With more than 750,000 residents and one of the highest proportions of foreign-born citizens in the country, Mississauga is a city built by immigration. Newcomers arrive on study permits and work permits, sponsor spouses and parents, and build businesses across Square One, the airport corporate corridor, and the Heartland and Meadowvale employment lands. When one of those files is refused or delayed, the difference between a consultant and a licensed lawyer becomes very real — because only a lawyer can take your case to the Federal Court of Canada.

Inna Kogan is a licensed Canadian lawyer, a member of the Law Society of Ontario and a public notary, with more than twenty years of practice and over one thousand successful cases. She personally develops the legal strategy for every Mississauga client, works in English, Ukrainian, Russian, Hebrew and Farsi, and takes full responsibility for the outcome. Consultations are held online by Zoom, so you never have to take a day off work or drive downtown to get senior legal advice.

Immigration services for Mississauga residents

Mississauga’s economy runs on skilled workers, and the questions we hear most often are about work authorization and the path from a temporary job to permanent residence. We prepare LMIA-based and LMIA-exempt work permits, support employers hiring foreign talent, and align every permit with a long-term PR plan so a job in Mississauga actually leads somewhere.

• Work permits, LMIA support and closed/open work-permit applications
• Express Entry profile optimization and post-ITA permanent residence
• Provincial Nominee Program and Ontario’s Employer Job Offer streams
• Spousal and family sponsorship for reunification
• Study permits for Sheridan College and other institutions
• Federal Court appeals of refused or long-delayed applications

Refused or stuck? We go to the Federal Court

A refusal letter from a visa office is not a final verdict. Through judicial review at the Federal Court of Canada, Inna Kogan regularly has unreasonable refusals set aside and sent back for a fresh decision. Where a Mississauga family’s application has simply been left to sit for months or years beyond normal processing times, a Mandamus application can compel Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to finally decide.

This is the firm’s flagship strength. Federal Court work is technical, deadline-driven and unforgiving of mistakes — which is exactly why it belongs with a lawyer who argues these cases regularly, not with a paralegal or an unregulated advisor. If you have received a refusal in Mississauga, or your file is delayed well past the published service standard, it is worth a conversation before the appeal window closes.

Family sponsorship and reuniting in Mississauga

Mississauga is a family city, and reuniting relatives is one of the most common reasons residents call. Spousal and common-law sponsorship applications hinge on proving a genuine relationship, and refusals often come down to an officer doubting that relationship or finding gaps in the evidence. We build sponsorship applications that tell a complete, well-documented story from the outset, and we represent Mississauga clients before the Immigration Appeal Division and the Federal Court when a genuine relationship is wrongly refused.

For parents and grandparents, we advise on the annual sponsorship intake, the ten-year Super Visa as a faster alternative, and the income and undertaking requirements that trip many sponsors up. And where a relative is inadmissible — for a past refusal, an overstay, or a medical or criminal issue — we look at Temporary Resident Permits and other remedies so that one obstacle does not permanently separate a Peel family. The goal is always the same: a lawful, durable status that keeps your family together in Mississauga for good.

Why Mississauga families choose Inna Kogan

Clients come to us after a bad experience elsewhere as often as they come for a first application. What they consistently value is that the person who signs the retainer is the person who runs the file: Inna reviews the evidence herself, drafts the submissions herself, and appears in court herself. Nothing is quietly handed to an assistant.

You also get a team that speaks your language. For Mississauga’s large South Asian, Filipino, Arabic-speaking and Eastern-European communities, being able to explain a delicate situation in your own words — and be understood — changes the quality of the advice you receive. Add a verified 5.0 rating from 144 Google reviews and recognition as a Top 10 Immigration Law Firm in Canada (ManageHR, 2023), and you have a firm Mississauga families trust with the cases that matter most.

Getting started takes three steps and no commute. Request a consultation through the form on this page and leave your contact details. Inna’s office emails you a short questionnaire (please check your spam folder), and you confirm a Zoom invitation to meet.
