Background

About Mathew Wilton

My practice includes a full range of immigration and refugee applications, supporting individuals, families, and businesses in meeting their immigration goals. My experience includes assisting individuals and businesses navigate Canada’s economic immigration pathways, helping families reunite through sponsorship, and regularly representing refugee claimants before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). My work at Battista Migration Law Group is rooted in my experience in the non-profit sector, assisting in community development and refugee resettlement efforts. My work is also informed by work with the University of Ottawa’s Refugee Hub, working in policy and research and providing litigation support for the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (CARL). My passion for human rights and assisting the 2SLGBTQI+ community has led me to work with the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, Community Legal Services of Ottawa, and Capital Rainbow Refuge where I supported the development of their Queer Refugee Hearings Program. I am a member of the Refugee Lawyers Association of Ontario, Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association, and the Canadian Bar Association.
