Head of Legal

I lead the Legal Team at My Visa Source, guiding and collaborating with my team to secure optimal outcomes for our clients. While I have handled cases across diverse immigration categories, my passion lies in sponsorship, including spouses, partners, and children, facilitating their reunification with family members. With a track record of submitting hundreds of sponsorship applications, I bring a wealth of experience and a strategic approach to each case. Having worked on some of the most challenging sponsorship matters, I have gained insights from the unique details of each case. My background in family law provides me with a unique perspective to connect with clients on an emotional level, motivating me to go the extra mile.

About me

I was born in the United Kingdom but raised entirely in Toronto, Ontario. I earned a Bachelor's degree, double majoring in Political Science and History at the University of Toronto. Subsequently, I obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Leicester. I completed my articling term in Markham, Ontario, at a boutique law firm specializing in family and immigration law. Although I gained exposure to both areas, my true interest has always been immigration law. After successfully obtaining a Certificate of Qualification from the National Committee on Accreditation of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, I completed the bar exam and was subsequently called to the bar by the Law Society of Ontario.  

From supporting my team through challenging cases to helping them find optimal solutions, I am readily available whenever assistance is needed. Additionally, I offer support for various applications, assisting individuals in overcoming challenges such as inadmissibility and criminality issues. Engaging with clients, listening to their unique stories, and devising creative solutions to achieve their desired results is something I thoroughly enjoy. With my parents being first-generation immigrants, having moved from Sri Lanka to England and, later, to Canada, I have a personal connection with our clients. Seeing my parents' journey mirrored in them, I deeply understand the struggles and challenges they face as immigrants.

My Hobbies

When I’m not working, I enjoy reading and watching hockey, baseball and tennis.
