“Trusted Criminal and Immigration Lawyer”
The decisions made in the first 24 to 72 hours of a legal matter in Calgary often determine its outcome — whether a criminal charge ends in acquittal, withdrawal, or a permanent record, whether release is secured at a bail hearing, and whether an immigration or tenancy deadline is met. Speaking with a lawyer at Centobin Law Office before making any statement or signing any document is the single most protective step a person can take.
Many people underestimate how quickly the legal process moves in Alberta and how consequential early decisions are. Providing a statement to police without legal advice, failing to apply for bail promptly, or missing a critical disclosure or filing deadline can weaken a case before it begins.
Centobin Law Office addresses these risks by intervening at the earliest possible stage. On a criminal matter, the firm's immediate priorities upon engagement include advising on police interactions, securing release through a bail hearing, requesting and reviewing Crown disclosure, and identifying Charter violations that may lead to evidence exclusion.
The consequences of an adverse outcome extend well beyond the courtroom. A criminal record in Alberta can result in job loss, professional licensing revocation, immigration inadmissibility, denial of travel visas, custody restrictions, and lasting damage to personal reputation.
An immigration lawyer in Calgary at Centobin Law Office assists individuals and families with Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Program nominations, work permits, family sponsorship, study permits, LMIA applications, Canadian citizenship, refugee claims, and criminal inadmissibility matters — with particular expertise in cases where criminal charges or convictions intersect with immigration status.
Canada's criminal justice and immigration systems are directly connected. A criminal conviction — or even a pending charge — can trigger criminal inadmissibility under section 36 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), blocking entry to Canada, preventing permanent residence applications, or initiating removal proceedings.
An immigration lawyer in Calgary at Centobin Law Office bridges this gap. Because the firm practices both criminal defence and immigration law, the legal team coordinates defence strategy with immigration planning — ensuring that plea resolutions, diversion programs, and trial outcomes do not create unnecessary criminal inadmissibility consequences.
Beyond the criminal-immigration intersection, Centobin Law Office provides full-scope immigration legal services, including Express Entry applications, Provincial Nominee Program nominations through the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), work permits, family sponsorship, study permits, LMIA applications, Canadian citizenship applications, and refugee claims.
