We meet with Anna Kuranicheva to discuss an initiative put in place by the CBA Immigration Law Section to provide pro bono services to those impacted by the situation in Afghanistan. Ms. Kuranicheva further explains the challenges her colleagues and her have faced since the initiative started in September and what she believes should be done by the Canadian government to urgently respond to the humanitarian crisis and uphold its pledge to welcome 40,000 Afghan refugees. Finally, for our members and listeners interested, Ms. Kuranicheva proposes concrete actions that can be undertaken to support.

Ms. Kuranicheva is an immigration lawyer working at the Edmonton Community Legal Centre and Chair of the Immigration Law (North) section of CBA’s Alberta Branch. She is one of the 11 lawyers who are currently working on a pro bono basis and who have put in place this initiative.

For more information on this initiative, CBA Pro Bono Initiative – Crisis in Afghanistan

If you want to contact Ms. Kuranicheva to volunteer as an immigration lawyer, to provide support or to suggest other actions that could be undertaken: [email protected]

If you are interested to contact the member of parliament of your region to request the temporary lifting of the ‘formal refugee status’ requirement to urgently address the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, you can find your representative here: https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en
