Our team of lawyers and an in-house genealogist helps clients around the world claim citizenship by descent, including new claims under Bill C-3.
We trace the records, build the proof, and prepare your application.
We also guide individuals, families, and businesses through visas, permanent residence, and sponsorships, and we challenge refusals and unreasonable delays in Federal Court.

All time cases handled by Cédric Marin and Marin Immigration Law.
Marin Immigration Law brings together citizenship lawyers and an in-house genealogist under one roof. That combination is rare, and it is exactly what complex files like citizenship by descent matters demand.
Our lawyers build the legal strategy while our genealogist traces and proves the records behind it, so nothing in your application is left to chance.

Your first step is a consultation with a Canadian immigration lawyer. We’ll review your family tree, confirm whether you qualify for citizenship by descent, including under Bill C-3, and give you a clear legal strategy. Real advice. No sales pitch. No fear tactics. Learn more about consults.
If you choose to proceed, you’ll work closely with Cédric Marin and an associate lawyer. Our in-house genealogist traces your lineage, and we help you obtain the records that prove it, from birth records to archival documents, while your lawyers draft your forms and legal submissions. Learn more about what sets us apart.
Before we file, a third lawyer on the team reviews your application the way an immigration officer would, to make sure nothing is missed. We then submit it directly to IRCC and cover all mailing costs. If IRCC ever returns your application as incomplete (for example, wrong photos, a missing signature, or a missing document), we resubmit it for free. Learn more about how we work with you.
Behind every win is a client we’ve helped. From citizenship to Federal Court cases, we’ve supported people across Canada and around the world. These are just a few examples of what we’ve achieved.
