Join us at Canada’s premiere conference on immigration, refugee and citizenship law – where lawyers, judges and public employees at the front-line of immigration practice and policy-making share their knowledge and experience.
This year’s conference will examine the delicate and multifaceted balance of humanitarianism, prosperity, security, Canada’s international obligations, and the rule of law.
We’ll consider Canadian and global trends – including recent and ongoing developments in U.S. immigration policy. Learn from expert speakers including key officials from the federal government, members of the private bar, as well as sitting judges, and network with your colleagues from across the country.
New topics we’re planning to cover this year include:
- Global Skills Strategy
- The new Citizenship Act
- Border arrivals of refugee claimants
- Business immigration options
