By Immigration Law Section Vice Chair Adrienne Denham

The Immigration Law Section hosts regular meetings and events to advance members’ legal expertise and forge connections. In November, almost 50 lawyers and government employees got together for the annual Fall Launch at Haraheri Eat Bar & Patio. Both new and familiar faces attended.

In December, the Section hosted their annual BC Provincial Nominee Program update. Attendees learned about program changes and best practices for advising clients on the program, which allows the B.C. government to select economic migrants to fill job vacancies and operate businesses.

Alongside the regular Section activities, the Overseas Lawyers Group meets monthly for an informal, virtual roundtable on developments in immigration and citizenship law and policy.

More to come!

The Section Executive is looking ahead to exciting events, including the highly anticipated B.C. Legal Conference Immigration Law 2024 on March 15. The conference promises a full day of learning, from essential insights and strategies on pathways to residency to judicial reviews in Federal Court and more.
