Emond Immigration Law Series

Print resources

LPEN partners with Emond Publishing on the Immigration Law Series — practitioner texts written by Canadian immigration lawyers and consultants. They are desk references rather than course material: what you reach for when a file raises a question a webinar didn’t cover.
