The beauty of Canada is its immigration program, wide variety of avenues to move for studies, work and permanent residency, ability to repatriate, and tax advantages.

For new and returning Canadians, as well as employers intending to transfer employees to Canada, Alan Diner, head of Baker & McKenzie's Canadian Global Mobility and Executive Transfer Group is going to cover the following topics in the presentation:

* Work Visas
* Immigration issues for new Canadians, or for spouses and children of Canadian citizens
* Changes to citizenship requirements for children born abroad to Canadian parents

This seminar will be of benefit to:

* Canadians returning to Canada themselves or via inbound investment.
* Canadians and non-Canadians investing in Canada (for examples, parents of students buying real estate).
* Non-Canadians considering Canada as an immigration or working destination.
* Potential retirees considering Canada post- working life.
* HR professionals tasked with managing the movement of executives to Canada.
