Immigration and Appeals Tariff changes to enhance immigration and refugee services

Graphic of refugees

Effective February 1, 2026, Legal Aid BC will introduce changes to the Immigration Tariff, the Appeals and Judicial Reviews Tariff, and the Disbursements Tariff to enhance support for immigration and refugee clients and better reflect the time lawyers require to represent them effectively. 

The changes were developed with input from the Immigration Tariff Advisory Committee of the Association of Legal Aid Lawyers. 

For more details about these changes, see the January 2026 #129 Notice to Counsel (PDF)
