The FIDI program has been a revelation for me, giving me immense hope. As I prepared to immigrate to Canada, I never imagined I would be able to return to a legal career while being in another country. I was so doubtful that I even pursued a degree in education, understanding that my knowledge of Ukrainian law would not be applicable here. But now, thanks to Dr. Charles Osuji, I have a guide, a clear plan, and a roadmap. I understand what it takes to have my education recognized. From now on, I am dedicating all my efforts to studying Canadian law and improving my English. Now I am certain that I can return to the legal profession I love.Thanks to Olha Senkovych, I was fortunate to learn about FIDI. Then, Yasmin gave me the opportunity to start my practicum after interviewing me, and this was truly a blessing. During my practicum, my primary job allowed me to visit the law firm almost daily, and I learned so many new and fascinating things! The Osuji & Smith team is a community of extraordinary people. There is an amazing atmosphere of friendship, unity, support, and kindness. Each lawyer is a true professional, sharing invaluable insights and offering support. It was a great honor for me to observe consultations led by such outstanding lawyers. It was an incredible privilege to gain this Canadian experience and to be a part of such a great and successful team!My heartfelt gratitude goes to Dr. Charles Osuji. You are an exceptional leader, a brilliant lawyer, a person with incredible energy and zest for life, and a kind and just man. I am grateful to have met you and will follow your future achievements, confident that the greatest successes are yet to come.Thank you to every member of the Osuji & Smith team. You will always have a place in my heart! May God bless you in all that you do.
My experience with Osuji & Smith Lawyers, particularly through the firm's “Foot in the Door Initiative,” has been nothing short of transformative.As a foreign-trained lawyer, breaking into Canada’s legal space can be very challenging. Fortunately for me, OSL was there to bridge that gap in remarkable ways. As a volunteer, I felt seen and valued from day one!What stands out about OSL is their commitment to recognizing and rewarding hard work. They see beyond all the limitations encumbering immigrant lawyers and reach for potential, offering opportunities that are almost impossible to find anywhere else.In the words of one of my mentors at the firm, "the reward for good work is more work". With each assignment and every interaction, it was clear that I'd found myself in an environment that actively catered to my growth and I was indeed rewarded with more work when I had the honour of joining the staff.As I continue to build not just my lawyering skills but also my confidence and understanding of the Canadian legal landscape, I’ll remain grateful for OSL’s Foot in the Door Initiative. Osuji & Smith Lawyers has truly set an inspiring standard for supporting foreign-trained professionals, and its impact on my career will always be a cherished part of my journey.

Quite a bit late in posting this, but had a great experience with them earlier this year. I primarily dealt directly with Charles or his student-at-law (at the time) Joshua. Charles provided great advice and my situation was resolved far quicker than expected, and communication/updates were consistent via Joshua. The upfront cost felt a bit expensive at the time but given the work they put in and the results, it was well worth it. Highly recommend them.
