Leadership Cayman participants hear about Immigration challenges

Sponsored by KPMG, the fifth seminar of the Leadership Cayman (LC) 2016 programme was held on March 30th, 2016 at Greenlight Re, Camana Bay.

The Cayman Islands Department of Immigration has two central functions: to protect the country’s borders and to manage migration to the Islands. In performing these functions, the Department and its officers (acting under the authority of the Islands’ immigration legislation) are responsible for controlling entry and stay in the Islands, and for the processing of applications for work permits, permanent residence and many other categories of residence. The seminar objective was to learn about the challenges of balancing, and delivering on, the demands of key stakeholders to the immigration process: the Caymanian public, elected officials, expatriate residents, and the private sector.

Panellists attending the session were Mr. Nicolas Joseph – Partner, HSM Chambers and Dr. Leo Raznovich – International Bar Association.

Mr. Isaac Espinoza, LC Graduate, was the mentor responsible for this seminar and he worked along with current class members Ms. Savina Ford and Mr. Paul Byles.
