Immigration Law encompasses a broad array of issues. These issues may arise in the course of any practice, but often show up in Business Law, Criminal Law, and Family Law.

Failure to consider the impact of immigration issues in the context of other elements of a matter can have serious consequences, and every practitioner needs to recognize when immigration issues may be triggered.

Examples of Cross-Practice Immigration Issues

• What are the consequences of a Canadian employer seeking to raise or lower a foreign worker’s salary?
• What are the consequences of drafting a marriage agreement where one party has been sponsored by the other?
• What are the consequences of accepting a seemingly favourable plea bargain in a criminal matter, where the accused is a permanent resident of Canada?

Led by immigration lawyers of various specialties, this panel will cover these topics and more!
