This seminar is designed to help RCIC’s and Legal Counsel adequately prepare their clients for arrival at the Port of Entry. The seminar will help you better understand what kind of documentation and information your clients need to have ready when they enter, how to best avoid problems and how to ensure that their journey is smooth. We'll look at:

  • Permanent Residents re-entering Canada and typical issues that may arise;
  • How to demonstrate compliance with A28 at the POE;
  • What happens at the POE for PR's that may have not met A28;
  • Enforcement at the POE for foreign nationals;
  • Ensuring an ethical approach to the POE exam;
  • When and how to make a case for a TRP or not;
  • All about A44 reports;
  • What if your client is detained at the POE?;
  • Think like an officer: Case studies (2 or 3 time permitting);
  • Ethical considerations
  • Q & A

Guided by a recent former CBSA Border Services Officer and former IRCC immigration officer, you'll get an inside perspective on the Port of Entry requirements and what officers expect.

Presenter: Vanessa Fairey RCIC

I have gained valuable expertise, after over 12 years with the Canadian Government, working in the immigration system. My experience stems from working for over 4 years as a Border Services Officer with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), in both Vancouver and Ottawa, mainly in immigration. I then worked overseas as an immigration/visa officer and supervisor for Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at Canadian Embassies, High Commissions, and Consulates located in several countries in Central America, South America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and of course also at National Headquarters in Canada, as a program advisor. During my career, I worked extensively on applications and files of all types, and from all of the various immigration programs; Temporary, Permanent, Special relief and enforcement, Citizenship, and more. I've made decisions on thousands of applications from all over the world, interviewed hundreds of applicants, and participated in and supervised specific immigration programs and projects.

My experience is supported by my educational background. I hold a joint Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology and Latin American Studies, and a post-graduate Diploma in International Project Management. I also hold an Immigration Practitioner diploma and have taken several internally administered courses related to immigration legislation during my time working with the Canadian government.
