In this comprehensive webinar, our immigration expert and Managing Lawyer, Evelyn Ackah, will break down the key aspects of employer immigration compliance, audits and enforcement. Whether you're an employer with foreign national workers or a business leader focused on protecting your organization, this session is designed to provide clarity and practical guidance.

What You Will Learn:

  • What employer compliance really means in day-to-day operations
  • Why most employer violations are unintentional — and where they usually start
  • Who compliance obligations apply to (and why exposure often exists without recent hiring)
  • What audits, inspections, and enforcement actually look like
  • The most common findings in employer enforcement actions
  • The financial, operational, and reputational consequences of non-compliance
  • Why organizational change is the highest-risk moment
  • How proactive compliance systems reduce exposure

Why Attend?

Employer immigration compliance is no longer just about getting a work permit approved.

Enforcement today focuses on what happens after approval — how employers manage foreign national employees over time.

Audits now routinely examine:

  • Whether wages, duties, and locations match what was authorized
  • How changes were handled internally
  • Whether records can support what actually occurred

The consequences extend beyond fines to include:

  • Hiring bans
  • Workforce disruption
  • Legal and operational costs
  • Public naming and reputational damage

This webinar explains why immigration compliance must now be managed like any other material business risk.

Who Should Attend?

  • Business owners and founders
  • HR and People Operations leaders
  • Executives and directors
  • Companies employing foreign nationals
  • Organizations planning growth, restructuring, or acquisitions

Don’t miss this opportunity to make informed decisions about your business's immigration strategy. Secure your spot today!

It is one thing to earn a living; it is another thing to make a difference in the world.

This is our formal thank you note to Evelyn Ackah and the Ackah Law Team for all the effort they put into helping us navigate and finally resolve the hurdle that was Canadian Immigration back in the spring of 2012.

A friend referred us to Evelyn; he assured us that Evelyn would take good care of us. Our friend was confident we were in good hands and said Evelyn would do her very best to help us and she did! At the time we did not know that his referral would go far beyond finding us help. Slowly we realized that it would become our own personal story of how we received grace and were reminded of the power in paying it forward

We wrote a detailed page of our dilemma, explaining how we came to be in the position we were in (overwhelmed with the hurdle that was Canadian Immigration and the uncertainty that we faced as a young family in Calgary). Evelyn agreed to take on our file with her team. They found the time to personally call us and listened intently and understood the details of what we were dealing with. They gave us their time, an honest opinion and provided clear direction which proved to be invaluable advice. Months went by but in time, we received word from Ackah Law that the Immigration office had finally reviewed our file and a decision had been made allowing our family to finally put the immigration matter to rest. We were finally able to focus again to live our lives without fear or pending doom.

Looking back now, even the sun appeared to shine a little brighter that day. At first we didn’t know whether to bake them a cake, drive out to meet their team, find their offices and personally thank them with a mighty hug or simply cry out to the heavens in thankful relief. Instead we emailed them to express our heartfelt thank-you and we hoped that they would know deep in their hearts just how grateful we were for all of their help.

Even though we relied on emails and phone conversations to communicate with them that year, we will always remember their constant professionalism, their kindness and understanding at a time that brought us so much pain not to mention fear. As if all their hard work wasn’t enough, Evelyn then then casually mentions that all their work was done pro-bono! We were thoroughly humbled!

To this day we are still eager to share how wonderful they all are as human beings but even more than that, we continue to pay it forward in honour of them, their service to us and their continued dedication in helping others.

Eternally thankful

– The Brummunds
