Legal Aid Free in Canada Sometimes.

In some provinces, legal aid may be free if your income is under a certain amount.

Sometimes, you may have to pay a flat fee as a contribution, or you may have to pay an hourly rate for the lawyer’s work. The legal aid hourly rate is usually much lower than the lawyer’s usual rate.

Sometimes, even if you cannot get a legal aid lawyer assigned to your case, you may be able to use a free legal clinic for one-time advice.
