Canada’s immigration system is entering a formative period in its history.

The voice of immigration lawyers and the interests of our clients need to be heard by governments and other major stakeholders.

Our system is seeking to welcome the highest levels of immigration ever while also grappling with the aftermath of the pandemic. This is resulting in an unprecedented number of changes to immigration policies, processes, and is also resulting in an unprecedented number of challenges.
