At the end of the day, we want to help our clients, the newcomers, the vulnerable and marginalized members of our society, right? These are people who are new to Canada, and most of the time they're very disconnected from their own communities. We just want to be proactive in terms of improving their access to information and other resources available in the community to support them. That's exactly the reason why they get trapped into accessing these immigration consultants who are fraudulent, because they don't know where to go for help. They don't know their rights. Most of our clients are tricked about the difference between an immigration lawyer, a paralegal and a consultant, for that matter.
Under section 92 of IRPA, we're not allowed to do work related to immigration. There has been discussion whether the government should consider giving us a mandate to at least do some basic paperwork, because our clients, who are mostly vulnerable and marginalized, won't be able to get a private lawyer to represent them.
