2:30 pm - 3:45 pm ET When Things Go Wrong… Essential Tools for Helping your Clients in Various Circumstances
This session has been designed to identify the knowledge and skills that all immigration lawyers will need to advise their clients in challenging situations (e.g. when the CBSA shows up at your client’s office asking questions about a foreign national employee, other types of investigations, etc.).
With the retention and sharing of exit and entry data and IRCC and CBSA officers searching social media with increased frequency, undoubtedly there will be more allegations of misrepresentation and grounds for search and seizure.
This session will discuss the following subjects, including impacts of COVID-19 where applicable:
- Right to counsel
- When to claim solicitor - client privilege
- When to advise a client to remain silent or to cooperate with authorities
- Citizenship fraud, PR card renewal fraud, etc.
- Best practices and tips for managing client information on social media
