Peter Larlee appeared in Federal Court on May 21, 2015 and argued a case  regarding a US citizen who had been excluded from Canada for one year.  The position of the Canada Border Services Agency was that the US citizen had taken up permanent residence in Canada.  We argued that he had not taken up permanent residence but was living in Canada temporarily to support his girlfriend who was going through difficult time because of health issues in her family.  The US citizen was working  regularly in the US and owned property in the US.  We argued that the exclusion order should be cancelled because the client maintained both the intention to live temporarily in Canada and to establish permanent residence in the future as contemplated by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, Regulations.  The decision of the Court is reserved.

Peter Larlee, Ryan Rosenberg, Steven Meurrens and Will Tao all attended the Canadian Bar Association Immigration Law Conference in Ottawa.  Ryan Rosenberg and Steven Meurrens also presented at the Conference.  Over 500 immigration lawyers, government officials and immigration consultants attended the annual three day conference.

Larlee Rosenberg is sponsoring a breakfast event at the Vancouver Board of Trade, featuring the Honourable Pierre Poilievre, Minister of Employment and Social Development and Minister for Democratic Reform on March 16, 2015.
