Darren Penner

Lawyer & Founder

Darren founded Quadro Law in late 2019 after years at another

Vancouver immigration firm. The focus of his practice is immigration law, but

he has a strong background in corporate law, wills and estates as well.

 

In his immigration practice, Darren works with both

businesses and individuals to facilitate the entry of people into Canada as

temporary and permanent residents. He also assists clients who are already in

Canada with permanent residence applications, citizenship applications, and the

renewal of their temporary status as workers, students, or visitors. His

background in corporate and commercial law helps Darren to understand and

anticipate his clients’ business needs when formulating an immigration plan. He

is highly experienced in the preparation of work permit applications through

NAFTA and other free-trade agreements, LMIA-based and PNP-based work permits, and LMIA-exempt work permits.

 

Darren has also highly experienced in the preparation of

applications through the family class, including sponsorship of spouses and

common-law partners from inside and outside Canada, as well as sponsorship of

children and parents and the sponsorship of other relatives through

humanitarian and compassionate grounds. He also assists clients in appeals

work, enforcement work, the submission of applications to Federal Court, and he

has appeared at the Immigration Division and the Immigration Appeals Division.

 

Darren’s key strength is the ability to

problem-solve and find creative solutions when faced with unique or difficult

situations. He believes that providing sound, competent legal services is just

one part of what it takes to build a lasting client relationship. His approach

puts the client in the driver's seat, with an emphasis on listening to and

understanding client objectives, providing a quick response to enquiries and

concerns, and of course providing excellent legal services to his clients.
