Description | I am one of the founding lawyers of the "full-service" firm, Weninger Zhang. I live in Calgary, practice primarily in the areas of immigration law and wills and estate planning, and am a graduate of Dalhousie University’s Schulich School of Law. I have long been attracted to immigration law because of the interesting and varied people I encounter as clients, since like many lawyers, I live vicariously through my clients. In my immigration practice, I represent clients on applications for permanent residence, temporary residence, and citizenship, and also do tribunal work for applications such as spousal sponsorship appeals and refugee claims. I previously practiced family law.Over the years, I have volunteered with several legal clinics, including those offered through Calgary Legal Guidance at Immigrant Services Calgary, the Centre for Newcomers, and the Genesis Centre. I have also volunteered at the Kerby Centre and have participated as a volunteer lawyer in Law Day activities with Pro Bono Law Alberta, both in Calgary and Fort McMurray. I enjoy speaking on immigration law and estate planning topics through events organized by the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society, Immigrant Services Calgary, the Calgary Public Library, and Momentum. I am currently a member of the executive of the Canadian Bar Association immigration section for Southern Alberta and am a member of the executive of the elder law section for Southern Alberta. When not being a lawyer, I love travelling to nearby mountain destinations such as Canmore, Banff, Radium, and Waterton. I am attempting in vain to learn Japanese, and am looking forward to my next trip to Japan. Though rusty, I enjoy playing the piano, as well as taking in Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and Honens piano events. I also spend way too much time watching Netflix. My partner, Hiroko, and I have a wonderful daughter, Natalie. |
