Technology has transformed the practice of immigration law and continues to do so. Practitioners from the past few decades will remember collecting forms from the office of United States Immigration and Naturalization Service and typing information on a typewriter. Some forms were required in multiple copies, with sheets of carbon in between. Many forms were required to be filed on specific colours of paper, including blue, yellow, green and pumpkin. If we did not want to mail in the forms, we could walk into the government office, pay the fee and file the forms in person.

A Jan. 13 issue of the Ottawa Citizen reported on the sentencing of Alam Buoc, who had been found guilty by a jury of second-degree murder. Superior Court Justice Robert Maranger described the crimes in exceptionally harsh terms, calling Buoc a “homicidal maniac” and “a monster.” He characterized the July 2017 killings as “cold-blooded and ruthless” and said the motive appeared to be trivial. It involved an alleged dispute over a bullet that Buoc believed one of his friends had taken. The sentence imposed was the same as if the crime had been first-degree murder: life imprisonment without parole eligibility for 25 years. Buoc appealed, and the Ontario Court of Appeal delivered its reasons on July 6, 2026 (R. v. Buoc, 2026 ONCA 492).
