SUMMARY:Current Trends and Emerging Challenges in Immigration Law
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Overview:           \nImmigration law in Canada continues to evolve at a rapid pace. This CPD seminar will provide a timely overview of recent policy and program changes introduced by Immigration\, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and examine their practical implications for applicants\, employers\, and legal practitioners. \nThe session will explore recent adjustments to processing priorities\, program eligibility criteria\, caps and quotas\, compliance measures\, and administrative practices. Particular attention will be given to increasing processing delays\, shifting intake targets\, and the operational realities facing applicants and sponsoring businesses. \nPresenters will also discuss emerging litigation trends\, judicial review activity\, and other legal challenges being mounted in response to recent policy shifts. The seminar will provide insight into how practitioners can effectively advise clients in an environment marked by uncertainty\, backlog pressures\, and heightened scrutiny. \nThis program is designed for lawyers who advise individuals\, families\, and businesses on immigration matters\, as well as those seeking to better understand the broader regulatory and policy landscape shaping immigration practice in Canada. \nSeminar Presenters:  \nLorne Waldman\, Waldman & Associates \nSince 1979 Mr. Waldman has been practicing exclusively in the area of immigration and refugee law.   He obtained his LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1977 and his LLM from the University of Toronto in 2000.
