Immigration and refugee rules and regulations are undergoing yet another year of massive change, as the government seeks to reduce the number of temporary residents to address shortages in housing, supports, and public services. This summit brings together lawyers, refugee advocates, adjudicators, and government officials to discuss the latest legal developments, ethical issues, and government program changes in immigration and refugee law. With both in-person and remote attendance options available once again, this summit presents an invaluable opportunity to not only deepen your understanding but also to connect and network with your peers. Plus, be sure not to miss the reception at the end of Day One! It's the perfect opportunity to continue discussions with fellow attendees.
