Legal Advice Clinics
Offered in partnership with Calgary Legal Guidance, these clinics connect low-income permanent residents and refugees with free legal advice and services from highly qualified, professional volunteer lawyers. These monthly clinics are free and offer personal consultation services on family and immigration issues.
How to book an appointment at the Legal Clinic
- Book a meeting with your Gateway Newcomer Planner by calling 403-265-1120, email us, or book a meeting online.
- When meeting with your Planner, book a time slot with a volunteer lawyer. If you need free interpretation services for your meeting with the lawyer, you can ask your Planner to book that at the same time.
- Once registered, you will be assigned a 30-minute time with the free, professional lawyer. Please arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment and note that you will be asked to complete an evaluation form after your session.
Please note: Legal services are currently being conducted over the phone rather than in person due to the pandemic.
