Darren Penner Email and Phone Number

I practice primarily in immigration law, working with businesses and individuals to facilitate the entry of people into Canada both as temporary residents and permanent residents. I also assist clients who are already in Canada with permanent residence applications, citizenship applications, and the renewal of their temporary status as visitors, workers and students. I have a strong background in corporate and commercial law, which helps me to understand and anticipate my clients’ business needs. For my clients who are purchasing a business in Canada as part of their immigration plan, I can assist not only with the immigration-related applications, but also with the incorporation of a new company and the purchase of the business itself. My background also includes wills and estate law, which is a benefit to my clients who are looking to prepare a will after relocating to Canada. One of my key strengths is the ability to problem-solve and find creative solutions when faced with unique or difficult situations. I believe that providing sound, competent legal services is just one part of what it takes to build a lasting client relationship. My approach puts the client in the driver's seat, with an emphasis on listening to and understanding client objectives, providing a quick response to enquiries and concerns, and of course providing excellent legal services to my clients.My areas of experience include: Permanent resident applications under the federal economic programs as well as under the family class, labour market impact assessments and work permits, study permits, visitor visas and extension of temporary status as a worker, student or visitors, provincial nominee programs, citizenship applications, temporary resident permit applications, rehabilitation applications, wills and estate planning, probate and resealing applications, corporate mergers and acquisitions, corporate maintenance and share transactions, shareholders agreements, and drafting of commercial contracts.
