Professional Development & Workplace Seminars

If you need to augment your in-house professional development on citizenship and immigration issues Robbie is happy to talk to you about providing information seminars on a wide range of immigration and citizenship topics. For example, do you hire or are you thinking about hiring foreign workers? If so, you will need to be aware of the upcoming changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (”TFWP”), recently announced by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and scheduled to take effect on April 1, 2011.

Robbie frequently advises employers and human resources professionals on TFWP issues. If you are interested in finding out more about the TFWP changes and how they may affect your business operations please contact Robbie at your convenience.

If you have a group of employees or human resources professionals who would benefit from an overview of the changes, talk to Robbie about a customized workplace presentation. For a complete list of possible topics visit the Legal Services page.
