- Immigration Appeals at the IAD (sponsorship appeals, removal order appeals; disclosure management; witness preparation; hearing advocacy)
- Rehabilitation & Criminal Inadmissibility (individual rehabilitation, TRP strategies; mitigation packages)
- Citizenship Revocation / Complex Citizenship Matters (submissions, responses to notices, litigation support)
- Express Entry & PNP Applications (strategic assessment, profile setup, documentation, and submission)
- Procedural Fairness Letters (PFLs) (responses addressing admissibility, misrepresentation, and genuineness concerns)
What You’ll Do
- Lead files end-to-end across the focus areas above: legal assessment, strategy, evidence plans, drafting, filing, and advocacy.
- Prepare persuasive written advocacy, including affidavits, memoranda of argument, notices of application/appeal, IAD disclosure and books of authorities, PFL and ADR responses, and detailed submission letters.
- Develop evidentiary records: conduct ATIPs, obtain expert reports, marshal witness evidence, and build documentary briefs tailored to statutory and jurisprudential tests.

- Collaborate with support staff to maintain organized, high-volume files with consistent quality control.
