Job Bank's figures for all lawyers and Quebec notaries in Canada, 2023 to 2024, worked out as a year at 40 hours a week. Job Bank does not publish a separate figure for immigration lawyers. Corporate immigration at big firms means moving executives and tech workers for companies. Refugee work is mostly funded by legal aid at set hourly rates.
