About
Lyceum Professional Corporation
Get to Know Joy Wei
I am your trusted lawyer and advocate. I specialize in immigration law, estates and trust law, and business law. I also provide notary public services (in person and virtually).
I moved to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 2010 with my husband and child. I speak and practice law in English and Chinese languages.
I founded Lyceum Professional Corporation in 2021 specializing in:
-
Immigration Law with a special focus on temporary applications including Canada study permits and Canada work permits.
I am an expert in all types of citizenship and permanent residence applications such as Economic Class Immigration and Family Class Immigration, provincial nominee programs, federal level Express Entry (Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program), and international transfer streams.
I also work with experienced partners to file appeals and judicial review applications to the IRB (Immigration and Refugee Board) or federal court.
-
Estates and Trust Law with a special focus on estate planning, including drafting wills and powers of attorney, estate administration, probate, and advising and drafting trusts deeds.
-
Business Law with a special focus on small- and medium-sized businesses, incorporations, Ontario minute book creation and updates, shareholder agreements, corporate restructures, and partnership agreements.
I also advise and draft legal documents surrounding purchase and sale of business.
-
Notary Public Services including notarizing and commissioning affidavits, affirmations, and statutory declarations.
I also certify documents and true copies including passports, death, marriage, and divorce certificates and other government-issued documents.
Before moving to Ottawa, I worked as a corporate counsel with Deutsche Bank China for over three years. After settling in my new home and country, I became a licensed paralegal with the Law Society of Ontario in 2013.
I worked as a paralegal for three years, specializing in intellectual property and immigration law.
I moved to Canada to provide a better life for my children and to show them that anything is possible. So, I returned to full-time studies at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law.
I graduated from the Juris Doctor program at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law in 2019. During the pandemic, I passed the Ontario Bar Exam and completed articling. I opened my own legal practice in early 2021.
If you put your mind to it – you can achieve it.
