Heron Law Offices is a Canadian immigration, administrative, and public law firm based in Greater Vancouver, serving clients across Canada and Around the World.\u00a0<\/p>

We specialize in practicing our areas of law, differently. We take a client-centered, research-based approach to our solicitors and litigation work to ensure our clients can tell their story through the law and as well push through, back, and against the constraints that law often presents. We provide honest, patient, ethical, and human-driven representation within a society where these values seem to be eroding.<\/p>

We specialize in marrying our legal expertise with research and advocacy. You get access to a team that is on the forefront of leading discussions around shaping law for a better tomorrow. We have litigated in the Courts, advised policy-makers, Government, and been recognized with several awards for our efforts.<\/p>

We are proud of being a social enterprise. We put our funds back into community, the migrant communities that raised us and the Indigenous communities that have been the stewards of this land.<\/p>

Ultimately, we exist for you and we will do everything we can to support you in your legal matter. You matter to us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Dear Friends\/Colleagues\/Supporters:<\/p>

As we work to build this website and officially launch our Firm, I wanted to tell you a bit more about our story as a preview for our work to come. This is the story of why we founded Heron Law Offices: Lawyers for Migrant Communities after a wonderful and supportive time with Edelmann and Co. Law Offices.<\/p>

Co-founded in 2021 by Will Tao (Principal) and Edris Arib (Case Manager\/Director), Heron was founded with a clear vision<\/u><\/strong>: to do law differently and to build a firm grounded in a research-driven, evidence-based approach, offering forward-thinking, client-centred solutions in immigration, refugee, and administrative law.<\/p>

We noticed that our ideal client base is increasingly tech-savy (or eager to learn more), but concerned about their bottom line and the overall cost of legal services. We noticed clients want to be relationship partners in a well-managed process not just treated as the transactional end-product.<\/p>

We noticed that our clients want compassionate forward-thinking representation from lawyers who are themselves from racialized migrant communities, who want to invest in the future of the community, and go an extra step for them in the often-challenging Canadian journey.<\/p>

When you work with Heron Law Offices, you not only help you, your family, and your colleagues solve their immigration problems, you invest in the future. You invest in our children, our essential workers, and our families. Our four core focus areas are (1) international students and international educators, (2) families, (3) temporary foreign workers, and (4) immigration litigation (with a focus at the Federal Court and Immigration Appeal Division) to represent those whose rights are most adversely impacted by the immigration system and who need better representation.\u00a0<\/p>

The Heron is considered a symbol by local Indigenous communities for self-determination \u2013 and we hold this as a core value. The Heron is also a watcher, a sentinel, a marker for biodiversity. We want to be a litmus test for lawyering with compassion and serving with confidence and grace. We are determined to change the practice of law through representing you and creating a broader conversation around Indigenous sovereignty over Canadian immigration issues. More on those plans to come.<\/p>

So why are we doing this now? Why are we leaving comfortable positions for this new venture?<\/p>

We are doing this because we want to build a legacy piece for our families, for our children, and their generation. We are doing this because we love this country but also believe it can be better. We have received training at some of the best immigration law firms in the country and through our work with leading international and national advocacy organizations.<\/p>

We invite you to join us and are excited for this journey with you.<\/p>

In Gratitude,<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

As set out in our value propositions, we believe there is a way to lawyer differently. We aim to provide process-oriented, cost effective services that are aided (not hindered) by technology and project management. We want to lawyer compassionately and confidently and continue the excellent work we have done to inspire future immigration lawyers and law students.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMy wife and I had been denied a PR immigration application and were in need of a lawyer to help us appeal our case. After my first meeting with Will Tao I immediately knew that he was the man for our situation. Over the course of getting to know Will it became obvious that he was not only a top-notch lawyer but an amazing person. For Will, being a lawyer is not just a job but a calling. His numerous involvements in the community speak to that. Not only was Will always prepared and on top of our case but it was clear that he genuinely and sincerely cared about helping us. Each and every step of the way Will was open and forthright, clearly explaining the procedures involved moving forward. Will was always available to answer questions or give relevant advice and we were consistently impressed with his honest and ethical approach. Will intelligently, thoughtfully and systematically presented our case with passion and zeal. Despite numerous obstacles along the way we prevailed and our appeal was eventually successful. There is no doubt in my mind that Will\u2019s diligence was a huge reason for this and we cannot recommend him highly enough, not only as a lawyer but as a person.

Will did an excellent job, providing not only his expertise but also boosting my confidence throughout the process. He helped me craft a professional application letter to IRCC, ensuring that my application was presented in the best possible light, and I got my COPR within the expected period smoothly.\nHis assistant Tobie was equally impressive, meticulously collecting all necessary documents and paying close attention to every detail. This thoroughness made my application flawless and gave me peace of mind.\nWill is undoubtedly an expert in immigration law. His guidance was invaluable, steering me in the right direction at every step. I am 100% confident in recommending Will and his team to others.\nIn an industry crowded with many lawyers, it's crucial to find the most suitable one, not necessarily the most expensive. For me, Will and his team were the perfect fit, and I will undoubtedly turn to them for any future legal needs.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tProfessionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value\nI was referred to lawyer Will Tao by an immigration consultant in Saskatoon who had attended one of his seminar. My mother\u2019s case involved her failing to meet her 2 year residency obligation, and immigration denied her PR. My mom's case complicated by our recent move to Vancouver that our inability to set down community roots thus far.\nWhen I met Will I quickly decided he was the right person to go for my mom\u2019s case. After working with Will, I find he is a very thoughtful and compassionate person. His assistant, Edris, also is very nice. I felt so much trust, and was very comfortable to work with them.\nWe were assigned a very critical the minister's councel for the hearing. But with Will\u2019s effort, my mom\u2019s case got approved after all.\nWill is really the best immigration lawyer I ever seen. I will definitely recommend him to people who face a challenging immigration issue.

Will not only did his best to work within my budget but also his advice got my work permit approved in only 7 days!!\nI have recommended all of my friends to go to Will Tao and I will 100% recommend everyone to go to Will for any immigration related issue!\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI\u2019m so grateful that I made decision to switch to Will Tao at the last moment for my PR application. Spent tons of money to another lawyer and he couldn\u2019t help me out but Will solved my application with an ease. Will Tao honestly the best I\u2019ve ever worked with. I received my BCPNP nomination within 2 weeks and after one year I got my PR which is super fast even in COVID time. I feel really confident and safe when I were working with Will because he is very resourceful, responsive, genuine and knows the law very well. Also, he is really keen and careful each of every details. Thank you Will for providing me wonderful legal service.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI was denied a renewal of my PR card because I went to school abroad and didn\u2019t spend enough time in Canada. Will Tao helped me thoroughly with this case. We spent a lot of time preparing and he\u2019s good at what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s alaways ready to answer my questions and walked me through what could happen. He works very hard and wants to be as prepared as possible which in hindsight saved me a lot of trouble. The hearing went smoothly and my appeal was approved.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
