TORONTO – Paralegal is a term used in most jurisdictions to describe a non-lawyer who assists lawyers in their legal work. This is true in the United States and many other countries. However, in Ontario, Canada, paralegals are licensed by the Law Society of Upper Canada, giving paralegals an independent status in this jurisdiction.

Paralegals are not the same in every country. In the United States, they are not authorized by the government or other agency to offer legal services in the same way. They are not officers of the court and are not subject to government-/court-sanctioned rules of conduct. On the other hand, in Ontario, Canada, paralegals are licensed and regulated the same way that lawyers are. This means that a paralegal license allows for the paralegal to provide permitted legal services to the public and appear before certain lower level courts and administrative tribunals.

BENEFITS TO YOU

The Province of Ontario, Canada, recently became the first jurisdiction in North America to provide for the licensing of independent paralegals. This change now allow paralegals to act as legal agents who have the ability to represent on many matters, including all Provincial Offences, work for Provincial Tribunals and Boards, as well as Summary Criminal Cases. They are not “law clerks” in the province of Ontario, Canada but rather are considered officers of the court, a formal part of the legal system.

This means that, unlike the United States and other Canadian jurisdictions, a paralegal license allows a paralegal to independently represent you in provincial offences court, summary conviction criminal court, small claims court and administrative tribunals such as the Financial Services Commission of Ontario or the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. By offering Paralegals the right to practice independent of lawyers, and also work alongside lawyers in areas of practice that are only permitted to be practiced by lawyers, you the consumer, have more options to hire the best legal representative at an affordable rate.

You are no longer restricted to paying the inflated rates of a lawyer for matters that paralegals are licensed to perform. This change is especially beneficial for businesses that require legal representation in the Province of Ontario or foreigners that wish to emigrate to Canada.

Dery & Associates is a Montreal based immigration law firm that has recently made major changes in an effort to upgrade their site Candim.com.  After months of extensive research and development, they have officially launched their new website. Already established as one of the top Canadian Immigration law firms they have made their site faster, made major design upgrades as well as significant improvements to their visa assessment procedure.

“We have worked with a team of professionals to come up with a design and interface which is cutting edge in terms of design and functionality.  In today’s world, we wanted to make sure that we were leaders and not followers when it came to establishing an online presence. We want to emphasize direct contact with the clients and personalized service while balancing the many advantages of internet technology.  Our new site allows for that in a way they won’t find with any other firm.” says Renaud Dery, managing partner. He goes on to explain that the way the industry is setup at the moment, most Canadian immigration websites are not using the internet to its fullest potential.  With their new site, they’ve simplified things to the point where viewers don’t have to be tech savvy to find what they’re looking for and fill out their visa assessment.

The assessment forms cover each of the major Canadian immigration visas.  Users will receive information about all of them in a simple yet detailed manner before being brought to the assessment most appropriate to their situation. “We have lawyers on standby ready to answer questions and help people through their process; we hold their hand the entire way through which is something most law firms could not promise.” says executive director Richard Dery.  He goes onto explain that viewers have the ability to fill out a visa assessment form for free which will then be sent to a lawyer who will personally review their information.

With the growing number of people immigrating to Canada, Canadim has taken steps to further establish themselves as not only one of the top Canadian Immigration law firms, but also one of the most technologically integrated by maximizing the use of the internet thus making the process faster, cheaper and much easier. Not only that, but their site is constantly upgrading in response to the changing habits of the viewers as well as the changing laws.  “This is the third generation of the site, we learned from experience that what people are looking for is personalized service.  Our new business model allows for potential clients to get well informed through the site, submit an assessment, and then get real life personalized service from an immigration lawyer. We’re ready to serve them in a professional and cost effective manner.”
