Darryl Larson LL.B.

Biography
Darryl W. Larson has over 25 years of experience as a lawyer and has represented clients in the Federal Court of Canada (Trial Division and Appeal Division), all levels of court in both British Columbia and Alberta, and at the Supreme Court of Canada. Mr. Larson is a past Chair of the Immigration Section of the British Columbia Branch of the Canadian Bar Association and a former member of the Executive of the National Immigration Section.

He has also served as Vice-Chair of the Immigration Section (B.C. Branch). In those capacities, he has had extensive dealings with immigration officials at the overseas posts. Mr. Larson has successfully helped clients from all over the world obtain permanent residence status in Canada, whether as business, independent, or family class applicants, or in hearings, appeals, and court challenges in Canada.

Founding lawyer Darryl Larson had the first hints that he might pursue a career as a lawyer, as did his relatives, when he was very young. Growing up in a large family, he spent many hours taking part in lively debates.

From those formative years of verbal sparing, he now heads a well-respected specialized immigration firm. The firm was founded in 1995 with a very clear vision of how it would assist clients.

“Our vision is to help clients feel they are having the stress of going through this process removed, while having the comfort of knowing we are a well rounded firm,” says Larson. “So if their application runs into problems and we have to go to federal court, we can do that. Or if we have to go to a specialized tribunal for a hearing, we can do that. Or if it is just a matter of putting the paperwork together, we can do that too.”

Through high profile roles within the Canadian Bar Association, Larson, and his partner, are personally plugged into top sources of information. “Being involved at both the provincial and national levels with the Canadian Bar Association gives us access to timely information directly from the office of the Minister of Justice,” he explains. “When new policies come out, they will very often run them by us for input. So we do have very current information about what is going on.”
