You will be responsible for providing strategic immigration advice, preparing and filing applications, managing client relationships, and staying current with IRCC policy changes. This role requires a practitioner who is proactive, detail-oriented, and capable of handling challenging files with minimal supervision. You will work closely with the Principal RCIC and the broader team while independently owning your caseload.

• Take ownership of cases involving prior refusals, inadmissibility issues, misrepresentation concerns, or procedural complications.
• Prepare well-reasoned submissions, legal arguments, and supporting documentation for high-risk or non-standard files.
• Identify and appropriately escape matters requiring legal counsel.
• Apply sound judgment and critical thinking to cases where policy interpretation is required.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with clients throughout all stages of their file.
