We discuss the exclusion of lawyers in the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada's online platforms and portals, with Lisa Middlemiss.

The Immigration Law Section wrote to IRCC earlier this year to raise concerns about the exclusion of lawyers. 

Former CBA President Bradley Regehr sent a letter expressing concern that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is preventing lawyers from effectively representing their clients to Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino and Justice Minister David Lametti.
