Bio
Joven Narwal
I met Steve while articling at BLG, a leading Canadian national law firm. Given his international background, language skills, and sense of social justice, it came as no surprise that he had decided to devote his exceptional talent to assisting individuals who, in his words, may be "shattered by the seemingly impenetrable border that is Canada’s immigration system". Steve has very quickly become a rising star in the immigration bar. He remains on the cutting edge by consistently analyzing the latest government policies and court decisions. He also shares his knowledge and insight with the public by publishing articles, giving interviews to the media, and maintaining his own blog. I recommend Steve to my clients because I know that he will find an efficient and cost-effective solution to the most complex and challenging issues.

Steve was a very good articling student. He is mature beyond his year of call and exudes confidence in his practice area.
