Lisa Middlemiss, Principal Lawyer
Lisa Middlemiss opened the doors of Middlemiss Immigration Law in September 2024. Previously, she worked at a leading boutique immigration law firm in Montreal as a lawyer since she was called to the Quebec Bar in August 2013, becoming a law partner at the firm. Lisa has been practising in Canadian immigration and citizenship law ever since. Bilingual in English and French, she serves corporate and individual clients across Canada for their diverse Canadian immigration law needs. Whether it be helping a multinational company with a Work Permit application for their executive or assisting a couple with their Spousal Sponsorship application, Lisa thrives in the varied nature of her practice.
For the last decade, Lisa has been actively involved with the Canadian Bar Association (CBA). She initially served as vice-president and then president of the Quebec Branch of the CBA’s Immigration Law Section. Subsequently, Lisa was elected as a table officer of the CBA’s National Immigration Law Section’s executive, holding the lock-step positions of secretary/communications officer, vice-chair, chair, and immediate past chair.
Before completing her civil law and common law degrees at McGill University, Lisa worked for the International Policy and Agreements Division of Human Resources and Social Development Canada in Ottawa, which gave her an appreciation for the civil service.
Lisa enjoys running in all seasons. She appreciates a good pastry and other culinary delights that the City of Montreal offers.
