Our Document Drafting Solutions
We specialize in preparing high-quality, legally recognized documents. Here is how we can help:
1. Travel Consent Letters (For Minors)
If a minor child is travelling outside Canada without both parents, border officials and airlines often require a notarized Consent to Travel letter. A poorly written letter can result in denied boarding or border delays.
- What We Do: We draft a comprehensive letter customized to your specific trip details, including flight numbers, accompanying adults, and contact information.
- The Benefit: Ensures full compliance with Global Affairs Canada recommendations to prevent travel disruptions.
2. Letters of Invitation (Canadian Visa Support)
Are you inviting a family member or friend to visit you in Ontario? The IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) frequently requires a notarized Letter of Invitation to process a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).
- What We Do: We draft a formal letter containing all mandatory IRCC requirements, including the visitor’s purpose of stay, accommodation details, and your financial undertaking.
- The Benefit: Increases the credibility of the visa application by utilizing the correct, official format expected by immigration officers.
3. Affidavits & Statutory Declarations
We draft a wide range of sworn statements (Affidavits) for use in court, with government agencies, or for administrative purposes.
Common Affidavits we prepare include:
- Lost Identity: For replacing lost or stolen passports, permanent resident cards, or driver's licenses.
- Proof of Residency: Frequently required for school board registration or OSAP applications.
- Ownership Declarations: For vehicle transfers (used vehicle information packages) or property claims.
- Common Law Declarations: To prove relationship status for benefits or insurance.
- Statutory Declaration for Registrant Identification Number: To obtain a registrant identification number (RIN) for your business and register your vehicle to your business.
4. Wills & Powers of Attorney
Protecting your future shouldn't be complicated or prohibitively expensive. We assist with standard estate planning documents.
- What We Do: We use trusted, standard templates to draft your Last Will and Testament and Powers of Attorney (for both Personal Care and Property), tailored to your specific instructions.
- The Benefit: An affordable solution for individuals with straightforward estate needs.
Note: For complex estates, corporate succession, or multi-million dollar assets, we recommend consulting a specialized estate lawyer.
5. Gift Declarations & Other Legal Forms
- Gift of Vehicle/Money: Required by ServiceOntario or mortgage lenders when a parent "gifts" a vehicle or down payment to a child.
- Simple Agreements: We can draft basic separation agreements, roommate contracts, or promissory notes.
