I would like to thank Eric and the team at Shawar Law for winning my appeal !!!! I was on the verge of losing my permanent residence status due to misrepresentation and be removed from Canada. I was scared that I would be separated from my life here. Needless to say I was very stressed out, but the Shawar Law team gave me confidence and reassurance. Eric did an amazing job during the removal order appeal and we won like he promised me we would ! I can now continue to be a permanent resident of Canada and work and live in Canada. I cannot express enough how grateful and happy I am. Thank you so

Terrible service. The lawyer is not even in the country. He is very agressive, has a temper, and will promise you the world and won’t deliver. Stay away.

This system just allows me to give 5 stars, but I would like to give them 10 stars :)
I have been struggling with my immigration issues for the past several years. My wife, daughter, and I came to Canada and applied for refugee status. The claim was not approved. I was desperately seeking permanence in my life and a future in Canada, for me and my family for all these years. I applied for humanitarian and compassionate grounds at another office and that was not approved. I was disheartened. I was dejected but then came to Shawar Law and was advised to keep trying and not to give up and reapply

I would like to thank the team of Shawar Law and Eric for helping me out towards my application for permanent residence. My case was not straight forward and needed diligent efforts. Though I am a few hundred kilometers away from their office, whether it was responding to my emails or addressing my queries over the phone, they made sure that my needs were addressed. I am so happy that my H&C application for permanent residence has been approved in principle and has received Stage 1 approval. I am glad that I chose Shawar Law to represent me because they went above and beyond the call! Thank you

I am still emotional writing this review. Today I recieved a very good news from shawar law. We won our appeal. Yes! I highly recommended shawar law. They are very professional and very responsive. Thank you so much to Atty. Eric Shawar, your are so brilliant, I almost lose hope that I could bring my husband here in Canada. But Atty. Shawar made it possible. The moment I talked to him when I first inquired to his office I knew that I can trust him. He made me feel comfortable that we can win our case. I love his confidence and positive attitude. Although my husband is not here yet but winning the
