Accreditations
Immigration decisions shape lives. The firm you choose shapes the outcome.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur seeking the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, a skilled professional applying for Express Entry, or a family navigating sponsorship delays — the immigration system is designed to create friction.
A single missed document, misclassified NOC code, or ambiguous business plan can cost you months — or kill your application entirely. Most clients arrive after attempting it alone or working with an unauthorized consultant.
At Leiter Rahme, every file is handled by a licensed attorney who has navigated exactly this situation before — with a 35-year track record and the rare credential of dual U.S./Canadian bar admission.
Our Story“The only Montréal integration firm offering both U.S. and Canada legal services — without the U.S. firm tag.”
Trusted by families, investors & professionals worldwide
“After two rejected consultant-assisted applications, Leiter Rahme resolved our Express Entry case in four months. The attorney was accessible, thorough, and honest about our odds — which were far better than we’d been told.”
“We opened our U.S. franchise using the E-2. The business plan Leiter Rahme prepared was consulate-approved on first submission. Far less than a New York firm would have charged.”
“My TN visa was refused at the border. Leiter Rahme had me back at the port of entry with a proper documentation package within two weeks. I’ve been renewing with them ever since.”
