Job description
Clear Access Law is a specialized immigration law firm primarily focused on helping
people obtain temporary or permanent admission to Canada while facing issues of
inadmissibility, but steadily expanding into other areas of immigration law
(permanent residence/spousal sponsorship, study permit, work permit, business
investors). Our work has a real and major impact on our clients' lives, so our primary
concern is to meet their needs to the best of our ability. Ours is a "virtual" office, in
that the entire team works remotely, using collaborative online tools, so you could be
located anywhere in Canada. We are looking to hire a talented Lawyer (member in
good standing of any Bar in Canada) to join our existing top-notch team, and stay for
the long term. The position has stable hours, and is fairly easy-going compared to
other legal jobs. You must be independent, detail-oriented, have a strong work ethic,
and are excited at the prospect of (continuing to) working remotely and bypassing
the daily commute to the office. Please include a Cover Letter in your application,
explaining your interest in the position, your qualifications, and what you are looking
for in a long-term job (applications without a cover letter, or a generic one, will be
ignored).
