Samuel Escobar

Trained Immigration Lawyer, Samuel Escobar graduated from the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law and was subsequently called to the bar in Ontario. Samuel is also a member-at-large of the Canadian Hispanic Bar Association and a founding member of the Canadian Immigration Lawyer’s Association and its current Vice President, Communications and Media.

Samuel works and advises on matters related to economic Immigration for temporary and permanent residence, including but not limited to Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, and Work Permits. In addition, he assists with family reunification applications and identifying viable Immigration routes for students and workers to obtain Canadian permanent residency.

Being a part of his family’s Immigration journey, Samuel felt destined to become an Immigration lawyer and dedicate his life to helping other families and their children navigate the Canadian immigration system and overcome the challenges at each stage of the process. For this reason, wherever possible, Samuel has immersed himself in Immigration law endeavours, serving first as a Frontline-Refugee Intake Officer Intern at Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada and later collaborating with the authors of the 2018 Annotated Citizenship Act to draft the introductory chapter of this Annotated Citizenship Act.  In addition, Samuel articled at NAV Canada, where he was exposed to an array of corporate Immigration-related matters spanning from work permit applications to intra-company transfers.

Outside of the practice of law, Samuel enjoys leisure activities, such as traveling, Latin dancing, learning new languages, hiking, and weightlifting.
