12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Immigrants, Refugees and the Legal Challenges of Getting to Canada
Journey to Home – Canadian Immigrant and Refugee Stories of Hope and Courage presents a rich tapestry of diverse immigration experiences. The book documents original stories from immigrants and refugees who have made Canada their home and contains tales of hope, despair, heartbreak, and triumph. The stories are unique and extremely personal, but they all had one goal in common…to make Canada their home.
Author Azhar Laher will be joined by David Garson, co-author and Managing Partner at Garson Immigration law, as well as Jennifer Lee, Partner, Value Creation Services and Managing Partner, Emerging Growth Business at Deloitte to discuss the legal considerations concerning immigrants and refugees coming to Canada.
This is a special opportunity to hear about the stories of new Canadians who have overcome legal obstacles to bring their unique experiences to this country.
