Happy new year! #intentionsetting #2021goals

Ending the year feeling extremely grateful for the opportunity to be entrusted with a families' immigration journey. I love helping families reunite, plan their future together, and create new opportunities in Canada. I am thankful for your trust and referrals. This year was challenging but it also brought so many opportunities and connections. It reminded us to focus on the things that matter - like our families. ... Looking forward to continuing to grow next year. What are you thankful for this year? . . . . #2020 #endofyearreflections #gratitudepractice #resilience #newbeginnings #canada #family See more

Since I missed yesterday's #fridayintroduction Hi friends, my name is Emilia (sometimes people think my name is Sisu ). A few things about me: ... I'm originally from Honduras I now divide my time between Canada and the US. The cross border travel has been very difficult this year and I can relate with the hardship of being separated from family for long periods of time. My whole world revolves around my small family and part of the reason I am passionate about the work I do is that it revolves around family. I love helping families reunite and helping families to create new opportunities through Immigration. : Uberlandia, Brazil . . . #catracha #hondureña #canadianamerican #familyiseverything #familyimmigration #businessimmigration #brazil See more

A newly-created Task Force, composed of four former Canadian and American politicians, will try to determine the right moment and process to reopen the Canada-U.S. border. The panel, staffed by the Canada Institute and its director, Christopher Sands, will deliver recommendations in March 2021. The Task Force is expected, over the next few months, to "meet virtually with various public-private sector stakeholders to understand the challenges of health screening and border security, as well as the impact of the border restrictions on communities, public health, and economic recovery," in order to make their recommendations, ccording to a press release issued by the Wilson Center. https://www.google.ca//task-force-to-look-at-how-to-r/amp/

FAQ - What is going on with the Safe Third Party Agreement? Canada has appealed the recent federal court decision on the safe-third party agreememt. The stated purpose of theSTCAis to allow the U.S. and Canada to coordinate Canadian and U.S. immigration, including emphasizing the need to stop ‘forum shoppers’individuals who may attempt to apply for refugee status in both Canada and the U.S.... Asylum seekers are typically required to claim asylum in the first ‘safe’ country that they enter. The U.S. is considered a ‘safe’ country for the purposes of theImmigration and Refugee Protection Act(IRPA). On 22 July 2020, the Federal Court of Canada released its decisioninvalidating the provisions which enacted theSTCAon the basis that they violate section 7 of theCanadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.The impact of this decision is that the Canadian government cannot return asylum seekers to the U.S. without infringing on the constitutional rights of life, liberty and security of the person. However, the Court suspended the declaration of invalidity for 6 months, to allow the Canadian government to respond. In rendering this decision, the Federal Court pointed to evidence of the extensive use of detention of asylum seekers in the United States, and the increased likelihood of deportation to countries where there was a high risk of persecution for these asylum seekers. On August 21, 2020, Bill Blair, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, released an official statement that the government of Canada would be appealingCanadian Council for Refugees. As the matter is still before the courts, it will be very interesting to see how, if at all, the upcoming US elections will impact this case. . . . .

I often get asked about "sisu" and how the firm was named... 'Sisu is a Finnish word that goes back hundreds of years and a quality that Finns hold dear but the phenomenon itself is universal,’ says @emilialahti.official, founder of Sisu Lab and author of a study about the cultural construct of "sisu". ‘Taking a close look at the concept of Sisu reminds us that, as humans, not only are we all vulnerable in the face of adversity but we share unexplored inner strength th...at can be accessed in adverse times.’ Had you heard about "sisu" before? . . . .
