Geneviève Martineau is a business immigration lawyer at Galileo Partners in Montreal. A member of the Barreau du Québec since 2021, she brings nearly 10 years of experience in immigration law; having first joined the firm as a paralegal before pursuing her law degree while continuing to practice at Galileo throughout her studies. This unique trajectory gives her an in-depth command of legal procedures; immigration programs and government portals that distinguishes her day-to-day practice. She advises employers across all industries on all aspects of immigration to Canada and Quebec; including work permits and Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs).
Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from McGill University (B.A., 2015); a college diploma in legal technology from Collège O’Sullivan de Montréal (DEC, 2017) and a Bachelor of Laws from Université du Québec à Montréal (LL.B., 2021); Geneviève Martineau has followed a distinctive professional path that reflects her deep commitment to immigration law. She joined Galileo Partners as a paralegal before beginning her legal studies; and continued working at the firm throughout her entire legal education. Admitted to the Barreau du Québec in 2021, she now practices as a fully qualified lawyer.
This progression has allowed her to accumulate nearly 10 years of hands-on experience in immigration; giving her an unusually strong technical knowledge of administrative procedures; federal and provincial programs; and the government portals used in processing immigration applications. She represents clients across all industries; from SMEs to large corporations; tailoring her strategies to the specific operational realities of each employer.
A contributor to the Galileo Partners blog, Geneviève Martineau publishes practical analyses on foreign worker hiring strategies for Quebec employers; particularly in the context of ongoing labour shortages.
