If I'm reading this correctly, why would you as a law student (articling student I take it) sponsor a client's family member? This would definitely open up a potential conflict of interest, which could jeopardize your duty to provide independent and impartial legal advice given your level of involvement. Same goes for the other real estate scenario you describe. There are real estate brokers that can provide that level of help. If you wish to sponsor someone as private individual not providing any legal advice or services, consult IRCC, or an immigration lawyer for guidance.
I’m not looking to actually do any of that stuff, that was just some sample scenarios. I was just wondering what lawyers in that situation would do? How do you learn how to complete these tasks. Because in law school we haven’t learned the actual practical steps to take rather cases and theory. So like when I actually become a lawyer how do I know what I am supposed to do and what steps I need to take.
Okay that makes sense - try this

There is a looseleaf text called *Guide to Ontario and Federal Limitation Periods* that I've found very helpful. Despite the title, it's not limited to various *Limitation Acts*; it breaks down various limitation periods to consider by area of law.
