A lawyer at WMR, Mtre Flavia S. Ciafre practises primarily in immigration law and labour and employment law. She manages her own files while working closely with the firm’s senior lawyers. She also assists on selected civil law matters.
In immigration matters, she actively participates in the management of a wide range of files, particularly those involving the Quebec Temporary Foreign Worker Program (PSTQ), as well as work permits, study permits, temporary status applications, and other matters related to international mobility. In labour and employment law, she works closely with Mtre Wendy Chavez on files involving occupational health and safety, termination of employment, psychological harassment, workplace conflicts, and negotiations between employers and employees.
A significant part of her practice involves assisting immigrant and international clients who are navigating a legal, administrative, and cultural environment that may be unfamiliar to them. Aware of the challenges associated with understanding procedures, regulatory expectations, and the realities of the Quebec and Canadian labour markets, Flavia takes care to explain each step clearly and to guide clients throughout their journey. In doing so, she helps transform legal rules that may seem complex into practical and accessible solutions.
Known for her rigour, resilience, and sound judgment, particularly in situations requiring adaptability and problem-solving, Flavia values collaboration and teamwork. Her professional philosophy is simple: understand the broader context of a situation in order to develop solutions tailored to each client’s objectives and reality.
Convinced that the law is a practical tool that serves society, Flavia is driven by a genuine intellectual curiosity and a constant commitment to learning and professional development. She particularly enjoys the diversity of situations she encounters in her practice and the tangible impact that thoughtful legal guidance can have on the lives of her clients.
She also places great importance on listening, empathy, and the quality of the professional relationship, considering these essential elements of a human, attentive, and client-focused practice.
Outside of work, Flavia leads an active lifestyle and is passionate about fitness and sports. She enjoys running, CrossFit, and Hyrox, a discipline that combines endurance running and functional training. She also loves discovering Montreal through its neighbourhoods and festivals and expressing her creativity through dance.
