Careers

Do meaningful work. Build a career.

Marin Immigration Law is a growing Canadian immigration law firm based in Ottawa, Ontario and focused exclusively on immigration and citizenship matters.

We work with clients across Canada and abroad, and we are committed to delivering high quality legal work with honesty, transparency, and care. We are also committed to building a workplace where lawyers can develop real expertise without sacrificing balance or autonomy.

Why work with us?

We believe that excellent legal work does not require long hours for their own sake, and that lawyers do their best work when expectations are clear and support is real.

Ottawa office, talent across Canada

Most of our team works in person at our office in downtown Ottawa, and we also hire talented people who work remotely from across Canada. Our cloud-based practice keeps everyone connected.

Real responsibility, real growth

From early on, you will take consultations and manage files independently, with mentorship and support when you need it. You will build real skills and draft legal submissions yourself, not just review someone else's drafts.

Mentorship that actually exists

You'll work closely with Cédric Marin, former Federal Court law clerk and former IRB decision-maker, alongside a support team. We invest time in training, feedback, and professional development. We believe that substantive feedback is important.

Transparency and integrity

We believe clients deserve honesty, clear communication and access to their own files at all times, and we expect the same internally.

Work-life balance that is real

The goal is to meet targets during regular business hours, with evenings and weekends as the exception. Lawyers and non-lawyers who choose to exceed targets are rewarded through performance-based compensation.

Performance-based, fair compensation

Lawyers are expected to bill and generate revenue, and are rewarded when they do. Our compensation model is transparent, uncapped, and designed to grow with you. You keep a portion of the billings after a target is reached.

Compensation, benefits and support

We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package. The firm covers all professional costs required to do your job, including law society fees, professional insurance, and required continuing education for lawyers.

We provide the tools you need to do your job, including a company laptop and other necessary equipment. All team members receive comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits, along with paid vacation and statutory holidays, starting on day one.

Lawyers are eligible for performance-based incentives and are rewarded with a percentage of collected billings once annual revenue thresholds are met.

Join our team

We regularly hire both lawyers and non-lawyer professionals as our firm grows. Open positions are posted on this page as they become available.
