A free library of short excerpts from LPEN courses. One instructor, one practical question, answered the way it actually lands on a file. Documenting self-employment in Express Entry. What an officer weighs at the port of entry. What belongs in a reconsideration letter.
35 clips across 12 areas of practice. Search or filter them below.
The library
Not trailers and not summaries. Each clip is a slice of a recorded LPEN course, picked because it answers something practitioners actually ask.
An instructor mid-explanation, working a question through with the examples and precedents they had on screen. None of it was staged for a promotional video.
Each clip answers one thing, like what belongs in a visitor visa cover letter, or how to read CRA schedules to prove an employer can pay. Short enough to watch when the question comes up on a file.
Practising immigration lawyers, consultants and paralegals, teaching from their own caseloads. It shows in the specifics they reach for: what actually persuades an officer, which document does the work, where a file goes wrong.
Clips are excerpts and carry no CPD credit on their own. Hours and the recognising body are stated on each course’s own page.
Search and filtering need JavaScript. Every clip is still listed below.
