New simplified procedural pilot for study permit judicial reviews announced today (200 cases). It turns process into a shorter JR process, short form to make submissions, earlier CTR replacing Rule 9s, truncated process, with leave and decision made at same time. #cdnimm #sp

Plea from @ZeynabZiaie @TheWillTruth @KoltunAndrew that litigators reach out to them before arguing #A issues in immigration litigation - arguing without knowledge or evidence on the topic can be harmful for everyone #cndimm

A room full of immigration lawyers fan personing out over the Honourable and immensely impressive Louise Arbour #cndimm @CBA_Immigration #CBA2024

(3/3) We continue to thank IRCC and CBSA for their cooperation and for always coming to the table to discuss these vital topics with our team.

(2/3) including, but not limited to, more efficient processes for immigration applications and outcomes, human rights concerns around new practices in the world of detentions, updates on citizenship trends, and general programming concerns.

(1/3) The CBA National Immigration Section table officers had a productive meeting with IRCC & the CBSA! They caught up with the Government of Canada on a number of issues important to the Membership.

Excited for the launch of the annual @CBA_Immigration conference, starting with a meeting of the national executive and coordinators. It takes these many people and much more behind the scenes to do the important work of advocacy on immigration issues throughout the year.

We are thrilled to announce the Honourable Louise Arbour as our special guest for the upcoming @CBA_Immigration Law Conference fireside chat on May 9. Join us in her engaging dialogue with Gabriela Ramo. Don't miss out! bit.ly/49xqSOV #CBAImmigration
