Re: Siyata Mobile Inc. – Registration Statement on Form S-8

We have acted as Canadian counsel for counsel to Siyata Mobile Inc., a corporation existing pursuant to the laws of Province of British Columbia (the “Corporation”), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Registration Statement relates to 5,467,591 common shares of the Corporation (“Shares”), issuable pursuant to awards of rights to acquire stock options and restricted share units (collectively, “Awards”) granted under the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan dated February 14, 2022 (the “Incentive Plan”).

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the related prospectuses, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares.

In so acting, we have reviewed such matters of law and examined original, certified, conformed, or photographic copies of such other documents, records, agreements, and certificates as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In such review, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed, or photographic copies, and the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of public officials.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the following:

(1) the Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan will continue to be duly authorized on the dates of such issuance; and

(2) on the date on which any Award is either exercised or redeemed, as applicable, such Award will have been duly executed, issued, and delivered by the Corporation and will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Corporation, enforceable against the Corporation in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles and the discretion of courts in granting equitable remedies.
