Ryan Neely Presents Paper on the Effect of Loss of Employment on Permanent Residence Applications

On September 16, 2009, Farris Associate Ryan Neely presented a paper entitled “Loss of Employment and the Effect on Permanent Resident Applications at a CLE on Immigration Law called “Working Your Way Into Canada - 2009.”

Alternative measures are available to some clients, but they must be enacted with speed and efficiency.
