Ronalee Carey Law – Trusted Immigration Advice

I’ve been practicing law in Ontario since 1998 and started focusing exclusively on immigration law in 2008. Immigration law has become my passion. I truly enjoy my work because I get to help people land a dream job in Canada, reunite with family members, or even escape a potentially dangerous situation back home. It’s important work, and I take pride in doing it well.

I’m an active volunteer in my community and have taken on a variety of leadership roles for non-profit organizations.

I jointed the Ronalee Carey Law team at the end of 2021. I am a Paralegal Diploma graduate from Herzing College. I perform administrative and billing tasks and assist Ronalee by organizing documents and populating forms.

Pre-pandemic, I have worked in the child-care and foodservice industries, giving me over a decade of customer service experience. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals from around the world and hear of various diverse experiences. Outside of work, I have previously enjoyed fundraising for various local LGBTQ+ organizations and baking for animal rescue bake sales.

I am a third-year law student enrolled in the English Common Law program at the University of Ottawa. Coming from an immigrant background, I have always been particularly interested in the history of Canadian immigration, the pathways to immigrate, and the stories behind every migration. Since joining the Ronalee Carey Law team in 2024, my interest has developed into a true passion.

I completed my Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Classical Civilizations at the University of Toronto. I am fluent in Mandarin. My academic training, combined with my personal experience, provides me with a unique and empathetic understanding of intersectional experiences.

I joined Ronalee Carey Law in 2024, after completing the Business (general) program at Algonquin College. My role primarily involves supporting the administrative side of the firm and assisting with the internal process behind the scenes. Although my background is not in law, working in an immigration-focused environment has given me valuable insight into the legal field and the systems that support it.

I have been the Office Dog since May 2020. I am a rescue from the Ottawa Humane Society. My duties include posing for photos for @ronaleecarey’s Twitter page, greeting visitors to the office, and calming anxious refugee claimants. I will admit to spending a lot of time sleeping on the job.
