Calgary immigration and refugee lawyer Evelyn Ackah is committed to helping people cross borders seamlessly:

We are getting more requests for refugee claims to Canada. We have refugee law expertise at Ackah Law, and have handled cases on a pro-bono basis. We are excited to expand our refugee law services to help more refugee and humanitarian compassionate applications to Canada.

To show your support, sign the #WithRefugees petition launched in June 2016 to send a message to governments that they must work together and do their fair share for refugees.

Canada is a recognized world leader on our approach to immigration and refugee law. Ackah Business Immigration Law provides immigration and refugee law services for people who want to move to Canada. The Government of Canada's IRCC (Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada) offers protection to some people in Canada who fear persecution or who would be in danger if they had to leave. Some dangers they may face include:

▪torture

▪a risk to their life

▪a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment

There are specific requirements to be considered a refugee which are different from immigration requirements and asylum qualifications to move to Canada.
