André isn’t an #ImmigrationLawyer . A retired businessman with a background in the hospitality industry, he started lending his time to migrants’ issues as a #volunteer a little over a decade ago. His involvement picked up over time & eventually he became well-versed in the #labyrinthine workings of #Canada ’s #immigration system. When he retired in 2017, he decided to dedicate his schedule to #HelpingPeople apply for #asylum - at #NoCost to migrants themselves.
