In a candid moment that few political leaders are willing to have publicly, Prime Minister Mark Carney has acknowledged something economists have been saying for months.

Canada’s decision to reduce immigration levels is contributing to slower economic growth. Canada’s immigration conversation is changing.

With slower immigration growth ahead, applicants, families, workers, and business owners need more than hope. They need clarity, preparation, and the right legal guidance.

Immigration remains important to Canada’s economy, but the process is becoming more selective, more strategic, and more documentation driven.

Whether you are exploring Express Entry, Business Immigration, Spousal Sponsorship, Humanitarian and Compassionate applications, or Family Class Immigration, now is the time to understand your options clearly.

At Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor, we listen, guide, and help you approach your immigration journey with confidence.

3 Ways to Confirm Your Immigration Lawyer Is Not a Scam in Canada

Canada’s immigration system is open and transparent. Before you pay anyone to handle your immigration matter, take a few minutes to confirm they are real, licensed, and authorized.

1. Search their name on the Law Society directory

If they claim to be a lawyer in Ontario, check the Law Society of Ontario Lawyer and Paralegal Directory. You can confirm their name, licence status, practice status, and any restrictions.

2. Confirm they are authorized to give immigration advice

For immigration consultants, check the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants public register. They must be listed as active.

3. Be careful with pressure, fake promises, and unclear payments

No genuine lawyer can guarantee visa approval. Be cautious if someone pressures you to pay quickly, refuses to give a proper name, avoids written agreements, or only communicates through informal channels.

Before you trust someone with your immigration future, verify first.

At Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor, we believe informed clients make safer decisions.

Navigating Trade War Tensions: Leveraging Canada’s Start-Up Visa.

In the current global trade environment, characterized by escalating tariffs among major economies, businesses face unprecedented challenges.

Important Immigration and Travel Update

The Government of Canada has announced temporary border measures in response to the Ebola disease outbreak affecting the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with increased risk noted in Uganda and South Sudan.

Beginning May 27, 2026, Canada intends to temporarily suspend certain immigration documents for residents of countries considered high risk for Ebola outbreak for 90 days. This may affect temporary resident visas, eTAs, and permanent resident visas.

Additional quarantine measures are also expected for travellers who have been in these areas within the previous 21 days.

Those already in Canada are not affected and may remain for their authorized stay.

If you or someone you know may be impacted, please check the latest updates before making travel plans.

We care. We are here to listen and guide you.

IRCC processing times have changed again.

For anyone planning to apply for a work permit, study permit, visitor visa, or super visa, this is an important reminder:

Do not build your immigration plan on assumptions.

Recent updates show that some processing times are improving, while others are slowing down. For example, Nigerian work permit applications recently moved from an estimated 6 weeks to 12 weeks.

But here is the key point:
Processing times are estimates. They are not guarantees.

Your application may still face delays if documents are incomplete, unclear, inconsistent, or if additional information is requested.

Before you apply, get clarity.
Understand your pathway.
Prepare your documents properly.
Know the risks before submitting.
Make informed decisions.

At Althea Mitchell Barrister & Solicitor, we provide trusted immigration law support to help individuals and families move forward with confidence.
