Bruce represents both corporate and individual clients in a variety of matters under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, the Citizenship Act and ancillary legislation such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and Canada Chile Free Trade Agreement as well as provincially based nomination programs. This work includes applications for permanent residence in business, immigrant categories, applications for skilled workers under federal and provincially based immigration programs, applications for temporary workers under the immigration regulations pursuant to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, as well as applications for Canadian citizenship.
