Looking forward to co-teaching this course for the first time!

The proposed changes to Express Entry's LMIA points have sparked debate across the immigration community. A policy designed to punish “bad actors” risks unfairly penalizing senior foreign workers who hold critical positions in the Canadian labour market linkedin.com/pulse/arranged…

Sort of excited to be co-teaching this with Mark Holthe on January 22! I say "sort of" because while I love teaching with Mark, I can't help but feel frustrated reflecting on all the changes from this year. Hopefully it will be therapeutic!

Happy to be back this year with LPEN. We have an impressive lineup of instructors and courses on topics we have never taught before. Remember that January is the month to get $50 off on all passes!

Every year, we put together one of the most comprehensive CPD courses on the preparation of #LMIA applications. This year, Lisa Middlemiss is joining us and we will be able to explore QC LMIAs in more detail

This is a course on one of my favourite types of applications. From the initial client meeting until approval of the LMIA.

One of the most thorough and practical courses we offer. No surprise, given the level of technicality involved in LMIAs and the fact that many guidelines aren’t publicly available. What drives this course is years of experience, hundreds of applications, and insights from ATIPs.
