About Shantale D’Aoust

Born and raised in Ottawa (Ontario), Shantale practices immigration law in our Edmonton (Alberta) office. She completed her common law degree entirely in French at the Université de Moncton in New-Brunswick. Shantale is committed to providing quality legal services to her clients in both French and English.

Shantale has vast advocacy experience, and she strives to help her clients navigate through their legal issues by assessing risks to provide practical options and tailored solutions to their unique legal matter. Her core areas of practice include permanent residence and temporary residence applications and appeals, and matters involving the interplay between immigration laws and family law issues. While newer to the practice of immigration law, Shantale is dedicated to applying her established case management abilities developed in her Family Law practice and by further enhancing her knowledge of immigration law through continuous learning and professional development.

Prior to her professional legal career, Shantale completed a Joint Honors bachelor’s degree in economics and political science at the University of Ottawa. Her studies included a focus on global politics and international relations. In 2016, she moved to Lille, France to complete a Certificate in sustainability and social corporate responsibility. Shantale had to navigate the temporary residence process herself to obtain the proper documentation for studying and working for the duration of her stay in France.  She understands that this type of process can be complex and adjusting to a new country presents new challenges.  Further, Shantale has a broad international travel background as learning about new cultures is a passion of hers.  Shantale has extensive volunteer experience working in public offices advocating for her community and engaging in community-based volunteer work assisting community members of various backgrounds and abilities.
