Many individuals and families in our community face barriers to accessing legal information and advice. The cost of legal services, limited familiarity with the legal system, language barriers, and uncertainty about where to seek help can prevent people from understanding their rights and addressing legal concerns in a timely manner.
To help reduce these barriers, Healthy Muslim Families (HMF) provides free community legal clinics where individuals can receive accessible legal information, and guidance in a welcoming and supportive environment.
We offer two types of legal clinics to meet the diverse needs of our community: Family Law Clinic and Immigration and Criminal Defence Legal Clinic.
Family Law Clinic
Our Family Law Clinic assists individuals with a wide range of family-related legal matters, including separation, divorce, parenting time, child support, and other family law concerns. Whether you are trying to understand your legal rights or learn more about the legal process, our volunteer lawyers are available to answer your questions and help you make informed decisions.

Immigration and Criminal Defence Legal Clinic
Our Immigration and Criminal Defence Legal Clinic provides general legal consultations for individuals seeking information about refugee and refugee claimant matters, work permits, permanent residence (PR), family sponsorship, criminal defence, and other immigration-related issues. These consultations are designed to help participants better understand their legal options and identify appropriate next steps.

Our clinics are available on a weekly and monthly basis by appointment only, giving participants the opportunity to receive professional legal guidance in a welcoming and confidential environment.
All consultations are provided free of charge and are available by appointment only. If you would like to book a 30-minute consultation, or for any general inquiries, please contact us by email at legal@healthymuslimfamilies.ca or call us on (204) 202-6491 Ext. 7.
