035: Defending the Vulnerable - An Immigration Lawyer's Story with Shirish Chotalia
26 Nov 2016
At times foreign nationals face injustices within the immigration system that simply cry out for redress. When all hope seems lost, courageous immigration lawyers, such as Shirish Chotalia, step in when no one else can. In this episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, Shirish shares some amazing stories and even better insight into the world of immigration advocacy....and even better yet, she has inspired me (and hopefully will inspire you as well) to consider taking on difficult immigration cases where the, at times, cruel nature of Canadian immigration law and policy rears its ugly head. In our discussion, we covered the following topics: background on Shirish and her extensive experience with immigration advocacy; how Shirish got into immigration; what immigration advocacy is all about; why it's important to challenge immigration decisions in deserving cases; why immigration lawyers should do more pro bono immigration work.
