“We have worked with Cumming & Partners for seven years. The firm provides excellent results, and just as importantly great service. As we handle our international transfers, the one area we never have to worry about is immigration. I cannot recommend this firm more highly.”

Senior Vice President, Human Resources

President
Major Private Equity Firm

“We were introduced to Cumming & Partners by one of our employees, and now use this law firm for all of our problem immigration cases. Where other lawyers see problems, the lawyers at Cumming & Partners see potential solutions. The ability to think “outside of the box” and solve complicated or problem cases is greatly valued by our company.”

Senior Manager, Global Assignments
Fortune 500 Health Sciences Company

“Our large law firm has a major corporate practice. However, our firm does not handle immigration matters. We refer our clients to Cumming & Partners for all immigration matters. Our clients get first class treatment, and the referral reflects well on our firm.”

Partner (Corporate Practice Group)
Major International Law Firm

“We are a small software company that services the telecommunications industry in North America. Cumming & Partners assists our employees with their cross-border immigration issues. The firm provides us with straight-forward and timely advice, and clearly explains the law and work visa options. I highly recommend the law firm.”

President
Small Software Development Company

“We contacted Cumming & Partners with an urgent problem when one of our senior employees was refused entry at the U.S. border and told he needed a work visa. We needed this employee to attend at a client’s office for a major strategy session that was critical to our business relationship. Cumming & Partners expedited the matter and our employee was able to travel the next day.”

President and Owner
Canadian Manufacturing Company

“I work as an executive at a mid-sized (20 employee) marketing firm. To service our clients in both Canada and the United States, I cross the border several times each month. For years I was nervous and unsure of what to say. I was introduced to Cumming & Partners through a colleague who had used their services. The immigration and work visa laws were explained to me in terms that I could easily understand. I obtained a proper work visa, and now travel and work without any concern or stress.”

Account Executive
Boutique Marketing Firm

“The clients of our manufacturing business are in both Canada and the United States. We need to be able to seamlessly handle such clients without hassles or hold-ups at the border. Cumming & Partners developed an immigration plan for our employees, and now the problem and hassles of doing business in two countries has been removed. If you have cross-border legal issues, I highly recommend Cumming & Partners for your company.”

Director of Business Development
Auto Parts Manufacturing Company

“A company in the United States hired me for an executive position. They provided me with paperwork, and when I went to the border to obtain my TN visa, I was refused and told I did not qualify. I was referred to Cumming & Partners by my accountant, and the lawyer re-wrote my application and explained why my qualifications made me eligible. The law firm also discussed the case and previous refusal with the U.S. Immigration Service in advance so that there were no surprises. Finally, the lawyer accompanied me to the border to assure that I received an approval. Needless to say, I was thrilled with the service and result.”

Vice President, Finance
U.S. TN Visa Holder

“I am a Medical Doctor who decided to accept a position in the United States. Cumming & Partners was recommended to me by another Doctor already working in the United States (she had used their services). The lawyers took their time to make sure I understood the immigration process and that I knew exactly what to expect and when things would occur. This removed the stress from the matter. I obtained my work visa, and two years thereafter my Green Card. I now regularly refer other professionals to the law firm, and am continually thanked by colleagues for doing so.”

Canadian Medical Doctor
U.S. H-1B Visa and Green Card Client

“As a management consultant, I understand the importance of properly servicing a client. Cumming & Partners handles my immigration (work visa) matters, and I must say that their service and client attention is excellent. Their law firm is a joy to work with. I had used previous immigration counsel, and it was a disaster. I strongly recommend Cumming & Partners.”

Senior Management Consultant
Canadian NAFTA Visa

“Like many of my colleagues in the information technology industry, I am partially self-taught and I never completed my University Degree. I spoke with several immigration lawyers who explained that I was a problem case and that I was not a recognized professional. Cumming & Partners reviewed my background carefully, and was able to substantiate to Immigration my status as a professional. This paved the way to an approval for a work visa, and the rest is history. I may have been a difficult case, but I got the feeling that the lawyers at Cumming & Partners enjoyed the challenge.”

Operations Consultant
U.S. TN Visa Holder

“After a long job search, I found my dream job in the United States. However, the employer, a biotech company, had no background on hiring a Canadian. I hired Cumming & Partners personally to handle my work visa, and they explained everything to the company in easy terms, and ensured that I did not scare off the employer and lose the job. This ability to make my potential employer comfortable and confident with the process saved the day, and I cannot recommend the lawyers at Cumming & Partners more highly.”

Sales Representative
U.S. H-1B Visa Holder

“A youthful indiscretion resulted in a criminal conviction. I had crossed the border many times, and never realized there was a problem and that I was inadmissible. When I was refused entry, it was a complete shock. I met with a lawyer at Cumming & Partners, and was relieved to have my situation explained to me. It ended up I needed a waiver, which Cumming & Partners obtained for me. I now cross the border without any problem. The best thing about the lawyers at Cumming & Partners is that they were very understanding, and they explained everything to me very clearly.”

Frequent Pleasure Traveler
Criminal Waiver Client

“I am a Canadian citizen and a resident of Toronto. However, I went to university in the United States, where I met my future husband. When we decided to marry and live together in Canada, we had no idea how to get my husband his Canadian Permanent Residency or how to get him Canadian work authorization as quickly as possible. Cumming & Partners was referred to us by friends. The lawyer walked us through the process and handled the whole application. We always knew what was happening and what to expect. It was a pleasure to receive such professional assistance.”

Spouse in Canada
Cross-Border Marriage

“Falling in love and marrying an American citizen was a shock. I was working only temporarily in Boston, and it was totally unexpected. We used Cumming & Partners to handle my Green Card application, and it was processed without any problems. We filed through Adjustment of Status, so I did not even have to leave the U.S. I highly recommend the law firm of Cumming & Partners for any cross-border marriage or family immigration case.”

Spouse in the U.S.
Cross-Border Marriage

"I am a U.S. citizen married to Canadian citizen. We have lived and had children in both Canada and the United States. Cumming & Partners assisted us with our own immigration applications, and also has obtained dual citizenship for our children. Now, we are living in the U.S., and we are even sponsoring my wife’s parents for Green Cards. We feel very comfortable knowing that our legal needs are handled so efficiently and professionally. I have referred many friends and colleagues to Cumming & Partners.”
