Ningjing Zhang

Federal Court counsel · LSO Certified Coach · CBA Solo, Small Firm & General Practice Section Executive Member · OBA Incoming Vice-Chair (effective September 2026)

I’m Dr. Ningjing (Natalie) Zhang, founding lawyer of BridgePoint Law Professional Corporation (侨达律师事务所), a Canadian cross-border immigration, business, and litigation firm with offices in Kingston, Toronto, and Shanghai . I am one of a small number of Canadian immigration lawyers who combine deep commercial-transactions experience with active Federal Court litigation practice, serving investor immigration clients, immigrant entrepreneurs, and individuals navigating IRCC refusals.

My practice covers business and investor immigration, judicial review of IRCC and CBSA refusals at the Federal Court of Canada, refugee litigation at the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) and Refugee Appeal Division (RAD), criminal-inadmissibility matters under section 36 of the IRPA, and cross-border asset and estate management between Canada and China.

Most Canadian immigration lawyers have never closed a commercial deal. I have personally led commercial transactions and company formations across auto-repair franchise networks, dental practices, sporting-goods retailers, restaurants, interior design and renovation companies, and commercial real-estate buildings . I have acted as counsel for defendants in international arbitration, and my commercial background also includes shareholder disputes and environmental-contamination claims.

This means when an investor or entrepreneur immigration plan involves acquiring a business, signing a franchise agreement, restructuring share ownership, or surviving an IRCC compliance review of a small private company, I handle every layer of the file myself, not by referring clients to an unfamiliar transactional lawyer.
