U.S. Immigration Paralegal (Remote – Canada)

U.S. Immigration Paralegal (Remote – Canada)

Remote | Contract | CAD $50,000/year | Canada

About the Role

You'll be a remote paralegal on our U.S. immigration team, working with our attorneys in Florida on investor visas (E-2 and EB-5), TN and L-1 visas, family-based petitions, green cards, and naturalization. Many of our clients are Canadians making the same move our founders made. Your days are spent building petitions, collecting documents from clients, and making sure every filing is complete and on time.

This is U.S. immigration, not Canadian, and you don't need to know it yet. If you've been a strong paralegal or law clerk in litigation, corporate, real estate, family law, or estates, we'll teach you the U.S. side. What we can't teach is the foundation: running your own files, owning your deadlines, and getting it right the first time. This isn't an entry-level role. If that sounds like you, there's room to grow here as we do.

What You'll Do

Required

• 1+ years as a paralegal or law clerk at a law firm, in any practice area, handling your own files from start to finish

Compensation
