The firm
Immigration law in Canada is not one-size-fits-all.
The communities we serve — First Nations health authorities, rural and remote employers, foreign investors, and internationally trained professionals — face challenges that generalist firms are not built to understand or solve.
Threshold Law was built from the ground up around these communities and these specific legal pathways. We don't take files we aren't equipped to handle. We don't refer clients away to bigger firms when cases get complex. And we don't treat underserved communities as a secondary market.
Every client we work with is crossing a threshold — into a new community, a new workforce, or a new chapter of business ownership. We make that crossing possible.

The team
Principal Lawyer
Called to the Manitoba bar in 1989, David has built one of Canada's most recognized immigration practices — serving clients across all ten provinces and three territories since 1997.
Client service team
Behind every file is a small, experienced team that knows the process, the paperwork, and the human pressure clients are carrying. These are the people who keep the work careful, clear, and moving.
Senior Case Manager
April brings extensive experience supporting clients across Canada and internationally, with particular expertise helping employers in the agriculture and medical sectors secure documentation for workers.
Immigration Case Manager
Maricris has over a decade of experience guiding clients through work permits, study permits, MB PNP, permanent residency, sponsorship, citizenship, IEC, and Express Entry applications.
Immigration Legal Assistant
Kayleen prepares immigration applications with care and precision, helping clients move through each step with clear communication and practical support.
Office Assistant
Ciera is often the first person clients meet at Threshold Law, bringing friendly, detail-oriented support to calls, scheduling, appointments, and day-to-day office coordination.
Bookkeeper
Rose supports the firm with reliable, accurate bookkeeping grounded in years of experience with the office's people, systems, and client-service rhythm.

Our approach
01
We practice in three areas only. Every file we take is one we have handled before, understand deeply, and can move efficiently.
02
First Nations health authorities govern themselves. We take direction from their leadership structures, serve communities directly — not through intermediaries — and never substitute our judgment for community decision-making.
03
We tell clients what is realistically achievable — not what they want to hear. If a pathway is unlikely to succeed, we say so before taking a retainer.
04
Clients reach David H. Davis directly. There are no intake queues, no hand-offs, and no ambiguity about who is responsible for your file.
05
Immigration law is complex. Our job is to make it clear — not to impress clients with jargon, but to ensure they understand their situation and options at every stage.
Threshold Law is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation — the heart of Treaty 1 Territory.
