Guide Clients: Application Ban and Leena Raju

guide clients: Experts say her case is all too common, according to CTV. It's really tragic, immigration lawyer Evelyn Ackah said from Calgary. Leena Raju says a five-year application ban for an honest mistake has made her feel like a criminal. The fact that something so minor could affect her ability to be reunited with members of her family, I think it's heart-breaking and I think it's unjust. The immigration law section of the Canadian Bar Association was to meet this week with federal officials in Ottawa. Ackah and other lawyers who guide clients through a bureaucratic maze say it's time for change. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
