Border Banter: An Immigration Podcast
Immigration isn't just forms, checklists, and government websites — it's strategy, timing, and real people navigating a system that doesn't always make it easy.
Border Banter is an immigration podcast from Green & Spiegel, Canada's largest immigration law firm. Each episode, host Sonia Sidhu sits down with fellow immigration lawyers to go beyond the programs — breaking down the patterns they see, the judgment calls they make, and the challenges clients face that never make it into case law.
Expect candid conversations, real scenarios, and a little behind-the-scenes banter from the lawyers actually doing the work.
