Lilla Tora
My name is Lilla Tora, and I have been Dean’s legal assistant and right hand for the past 4 years. I am lucky to call both Manitoba and British Columbia home, splitting my time between the two provinces.
I believe in quality work, always seeking to fully understand the issues we are dealing with. I take pride in catching details that often prove to be important. With valuable suggestions I provide Dean with an extra set of eyes while perfecting client files and our submissions. The main reason we are such a great team is because we complement each other while working towards the same goal of helping clients efficiently.
I have expertise in preparing and filing a wide range of applications, from visitor visas to criminal rehabilitations. I am however the most passionate about working on family sponsorship applications and assisting Dean with appeals, preparing Application Records and drafting submissions. We have had significant success with family sponsorships, sponsorship appeals and applications based on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. In my 4 years with Dean, we have had a 100% approval rate on sponsorship applications and sponsorship appeals.
In my free time, I enjoy dog training, walking, working out at the gym, and road trips. I travel as much as possible, exploring new places near and far.

I’m looking forward to virtually meeting you and working together towards your immigration goals.
