Free Presentation: Law in the Library
As part of the Law in the Library series, Alastair Clarke will be giving a free presentation to the public on October 19, 2017 at St. Boniface Library at 131 Provencher Boulevard. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Topics:
- Spousal Sponsorship applications
- Temporary Resident Application
- Temporary Resident Permits
- Citizenship Applications – updates to the legislation, effective 11 OCT 2017
- Dependent Children – changes to the definition in IRPA, effective 24 OCT 2017
- Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program, including recent changes
- And more more.
Please note that we cannot give individual legal advice during this free presentation. The purpose of the presentation is for information purposes and to inform the public on changes to Canadian Immigration Law. We constantly talk to clients who hear wrong information or information that is out of date. The laws in Canada for immigration and refugees are constantly in flux. Our goal is to make sure that Manitobans understand the laws so they can avoid mistakes and they have clear expectations when they submit applications to IRCC or CBSA of any of the Visa Offices around the world.
