Canada's strict social distancing measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19 have been successful in flattening the curve. But with drastic international travel restrictions and reduced or halted government services, these measures have significantly impacted business for refugee & immigration lawyers.
In this webinar, Rui Chen will interview professionals from different segments of our industry (students to sole practitioners to firms to clinics) who will share their experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future in this COVID-19 era. As you listen, we invite you to actively participate through comments on Youtube to share your thoughts, ideas, questions, and resources as we support each other through this unprecedented time in Canadian refugee and immigration law.
