The Legal Care Program has an extensive network of 3,000 lawyers with a minimum of 5 years of experience across Canada who are available to assist you with legal advice or assistance you require.

The Legal Consultation service covers many areas of civil law. More details can be found under the Plan Details section. The Legal Care Program does NOT cover any issues regarding criminal law.

Once you have registered through the Legal Consultation Portal powered by Inkblot and requiere legal support, you will need to complete an intake form with several questions regarding your legal issue (i.e. area of law, pertinent history).

Once you have provided all pertinent information in the intake form, you will be taken to a confirmation page which will provide a consultation number and the 24/7 unlimited Legal Consultation hotline contact information.

You can then call the Legal Consultation hotline using the consultation number and be triaged to a lawyer that is best suited to assist you with your legal issue.

When you complete the intake form, you will be provided with a confirmation page that includes your unique consultation number. Keep this number for future inquiries regarding this specific legal issue.

When you call the Legal Consultation hotline, you will be asked to provide your consultation number by a service representative who will then review your submission and triage you to the most appropriate lawyer to handle your inquiry.

You have unlimited access to the Legal Consultation hotline. However, you are required to fill out a New Consultation form prior to your call to the hotline.

Yes, the Legal Consultation hotline is available 24/7 however, if you wish to speak to a legal assitant, please call the Legal Consultation hotline between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

If a call is made outside of these hours, you will speak to a customer service representative who will assist with any questions you have about the service or assist you through the online consultation booking process to set up a date and time to speak with a lawyer.

If you need to speak to a lawyer in person, you will be referred to a local lawyer who is best suited to assist with your legal questions or issues.

When you are referred to a lawyer on the network, you will have a free 30-minute consultation with the lawyer to discuss the issues, and legal fees and to ensure it is a good fit.

If you decide to move forward, you will be provided with up to a 25% discount off any legal fees and $3,250 of legal funds for any incurred fees that will be sent directly to the lawyer.

When you meet with a lawyer and decide to pursue the legal issue, you will not be required to pay out of pocket for any fees up to the $3,250 per incident maximum.

You will have 12 months from the time you access the $3,250 of legal funds for a specific incident to use all funds available. You will be responsible for paying for any fees over the $3,250.

The service will allow for $3,250 per incident support for all students. For example, you start school in September and run into a landlord issue in October that requires an in-person referral with a lawyer. You will have 12 months from October to utilize the $3,250 of legal support to help resolve your landlord's legal issue.

If you were to have a 2nd concern, for example, a collections issue, in February of the same academic year and require an in-person referral, you will have an additional $3,250 over a 12-month period to resolve that issue.

Legal support is available on a per-incident basis however once you have utilized all of the funds for a specific legal issue, any additional funds required will be the students' responsibility.

If you utilize the full $3,250 of legal funds available prior to the end of the year, you will still have access to the Legal Consultation portal, the 24/7 Legal Consultation hotline, and the online Legal Library. You will also continue to have access to the legal network and the legal discounts it provides.

However, once the $3,250 maximum has been utilized for a specific legal issue, you will have to pay out of pocket for any further legal expenses incurred. If a second and separate legal issue were to start and require a lawyer's assistance, you would have another $3,250 available to support you specifically to that incident.
