Immigration Workshop with ASISNA & LSLAP

Event Description

Allard Society of International Students and New Arrivals (ASISNA) is a supportive community formed with international students and recent immigrants at Allard, advocating for increased awareness and support for this community. This year, ASISNA plans to collaborate with LSLAP to host an immigration law workshop for students at Allard.

This workshop will cover topics including the rights and conditions of study permits, eligibility for post-graduation work permits (PGWP), and different pathways to permanent residency. ASISNA plans to invite an immigration lawyer and an immigration law professor to speak on these topics. It will not only provide useful resources to the international students at Allard, but also educate domestic students about the hurdles faced by immigrants who envision a future in Canada. Immigrants have historically been in a disadvantaged position as a politically powerless group. It is ASISNA's intention that raising awareness about their situation can help to promote law students' interest in immigration law and achieve better access to justice.
