My experience with matkowsky was horrible. Thay may be good at student applications but not work permits. Many reasons of delays, unprofessional documentation, overall handling.

I contacted Matkowsky immigration law regarding a response on a PFL letter on medical inadmissibility. On their website they published they charge $4,000 -$6,500. When I called in. They said they will charge me $6,500 plus tax. $250 as consultation fee. I paid them $250 consultation fee. $6,250 plus tax = totalling $7,062. After a 4 months wait. IRCC responded to the PFL letter giving me the option to convert my application to Humanitarian and compassionate category. Ms Sonia of Matkowsky law said I will have to pay an additional $2,500 plus tax totalling $2,825. She insisted I must pay $1,500 deposit before any further communication with IRCC to indicate my choice to convert my application to H&C I paid the $1,500. They confirmed receipt of the additional $1,500 I paid to them then sent me a list of informations and documents that I have to present to them further . This documents were not even indicated by IRCC in their response. This firm drains you financially. Then put all the stress on you to the the actual work. They send you to go and download the forms via IRCC website. Fill it and send to them. They request for months of bank statements just for their own consumption for them to be sure you can afford their fees pretending it’s part of the requirements from IRCC when they know they are never going to submit that. If you are to do all the work. What is the $9,887.00 they billed you and have already received a total of $8,562 for? Such level of Greed. This firm is all about draining the applicant. Taking advantage of your circumstance to enrich themselves. It’s extortion. Pure Greed. Self -centered. Very unfair. I am going to lay my complaints to the law society of upper canada. Your audacity in your response to me. Spewing so many lies shows how desperate you are to continually extort money from people. You are money starved. What you are doing is not about people. It’s about your expertise at taking advantage of Peoples desperate situations to drain them financially in your over priced services. Your steep fees compels you to try to render the services you claim to know how to do. On instances where there is a refusal you quickly claim it’s not up to you to determine the success of any application. You should apply your promptness and long responses to reviews at rendering a good service. Your very long essays in your quick review responses is so you can absolve yourself and continue sucking people dry via your greed. How many people have you responded to their negative reviews calling it fake and calling them liars. Neither of us know each other so how can different people expressing their experiences as regards your nag for money be all wrong? Pls, People be careful of this Matkowsky immigration law firm and their crazy tactics at draining your resources. There are very good immigration lawyers out there that are kind hearted & professional at the same time. Not this people that will treat you just as a number while draining your purse. Draining your purse is their priority and Major interest.

I wasted 250 CAD for only ''30 minutes'' consultation. It was barely a consultation and Natalie Domazet only repeated what I already knew. She started behaving not very nice after 20 minutes and made me uncomfortable to ask further questions. She was not helpful at all!

My brother rejected 4 times in last 16 years I see there adds on Facebook and as they says deal with difficult immigration problems. I call them to book an appointment for my brother and 2 days before the meeting they charge me $250 for 30 min on phone appointment. I was hoping they will help me something special but lady we had appointment with she didn't even asky brother history, she didn't even ask the when my brother last time rejected, she didn't even ask which category we applied before. she given me stupid idea I can apply for visiting visa. She's had no idea what's she doing. Totally lost. I wish would give 0 rating. I waste my Money big time

About Matkowsky, dishonest and not transparent. The Court requested for certain documents by a certain date. You filed outside the deadline. What did you expect the judge to do. Accepting a negative answer is not a problem.it becomes a problem when those charged to do their work fails to do so. Ruena is not, I repeat is not frustrated with the DOJ but rather with your office for not doing your job

It’s so sad that the lawyers at Matkowsky are not transparent enough with their communication, that after months of no communication until prompted, have to ask the judge for a time extension, after they did not submit the application in time for the deadline. Only invoices and “unfortunatelys’”are sent on time… or prior! I’d advise you, to look for another law firm to well represent you, as Matkowsky will cost you too much unnecessary time and money. If I could rate half a star for trying to work with Paul, my family and I gladly would! All the best to you if you’re looking for assistance on the same, and I hope that you won’t have to go through agony close to what this law firm will give you, while only looking to be with the ones you love, and have better life opportunities. There’s also no option to reply to your response for the above; so I’ll do it here… what you’re saying is untrue, and really details about my case representation that may not be necessary to talk about now. My complain review, as is what this section is about is about transparency to better present ones’ ‘case’. When representing a client, this is mandatory and key. Your email responses have not been precise, and you only reached out, since stating that it would take sometime(which you could have stated the reasons why), until yesterday to give a verdict that could have well been considered earlier. It’s best not to make promises earlier on, and be transparent with what is actually happening. I cannot hold these judicial changes against you, but you did not do your job. This is just it! As for the call, it’s really to pass the message verbally, that the verdict was denied, as you did not meet the deadline that you later came to know about. Thank you for taking the time to reply so fast on here.

Their "consultation" is a way for them make an easy $250. I approached matkowsky to help with a refused PGWP application, instead all I got was ways in which they can't help me and excuses. Find yourself a law firm who is actually willing to help rather than charge you money to waste your time. Also, the lawyer I booked a consultation with arrived 15 mins after the meeting time (very professional!).

I don't want to give even 1 star. It didn't work for me. Once the file for visitors visa rejected they even didn't suggest anything. And asking for more money. It's upto you...

The office constantly changes employees and there are set backs to the process. The lawyers can be very rude and speak down to their clients. It was a horrible experience and we do not recommend them.

The "free consultation" is just for them to sell. Didn't get much helpful information, when I asked about the success rate of their clients, he didn't know and made an attitude. He talked more like a saleperson than a lawyer.
