Laura Ricaurte

I am an internationally trained lawyer from Colombia, currently practicing immigration law in Toronto, Canada. I hold a Bachelor of Civil Law B.C.L., (J.D. Equivalent) and a Postgraduate Degree in Taxation from Universidad de los Andes, Colombia, where I graduated in the top 10% of my class. I also studied a semester abroad in International and Comparative Law at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Bilingual in Spanish and English, I have developed expertise in various legal fields including immigration law, tax law, corporate law, and estate planning.

​

Before transitioning to immigration law, I worked for almost 5 years as a Tax Associate Lawyer at Lewin & Wills, a Tier 1 tax law firm in Colombia, where I advised clients on national and cross-border tax matters. I also led the creation of a digital platform to compare double taxation treaties.

In 2023, I relocated to Canada and joined Carvajal Law P.C., where I assist clients with complex immigration applications, including study permits, work permits, permanent residency, citizenship, and family sponsorships. My work often involves advising corporate clients on foreign recruitment and immigration compliance.

​

In Winter 2026, I will begin my LLM in Canadian Common Law at Osgoode Hall Law School - York University in Toronto, to continue my legal licensing in Canada. I am committed to continuous professional growth, staying updated on the latest trends in immigration law, and providing high-quality legal services to my clients.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, walking, cycling, practicing macrame art, and playing volleyball. I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and continuously seek ways to grow both professionally and personally.
