What If Your New Employee Is Turned Away At The Border?

Blog posted on by Evelyn Ackah in Business Immigration to Canada

What If Your New Employee Is Turned Away At The Border?

What's at risk if you DON'T hire a business immigration lawyer? Immigration rules and procedures are changing almost daily in Canada and the United States. Your business can lose critical time, money and opportunities if your new employees can't enter the country.

Another Ackah Law Client Success Story

Recently an American senior executive trying to come to Canada from New York as a NAFTA business visitor was turned away by the airline because they didn’t feel he was an essential worker. He was not our client.

He hired Ackah Business Immigration Law after he was denied entry to Canada, and within 3 days he was able to enter Toronto as a financial services essential worker, and was able to close his deal that will create new jobs and opportunities for Canadians.

Forbes Bros. Ltd. chose Ackah law as our immigration specialist for several reasons:

1. Competence: As immigration, permanent residency and the temporary Foreign worker program are necessary to our business we are not in a position to use a less than fully qualified service provider on these files.

2. Responsiveness: When you are dealing with the lives of people, there is nothing more important to that individual at that moment than his or her immigration issues, responsiveness to this, and an appreciation of the employee’s position is key.

3. Attitude: The thing I like best about Ackah law is the attitude and can-do spirit of the staff. Evelyn and her team show us what a small group of dedicated individuals can do. IT is the first time in a long time that I didn’t feel like a billable hour in a lawyers office.
