Lulwa Al Hidiq
Lulwa is a seasoned professional in Immigration Law, Audit and Advisory Services, and Corporate Governance with firsthand experience in long-term strategic planning. She is a leader and a team player, and her strong profile and skillset have led her to be elected as the first-ever female Chair of the CAPIC Board, a national association for Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants that played a pivotal role in achieving the Federal Statute for the profession.
Lulwa is also a past Certified Public Accountant from the California Board of Accountancy (not currently designated) with over 10 years of professional experience in public accounting in multi-national firms with global exposure. She is very vocal, a lobbyist, a strong advocate, and anyone who knows how much she enjoys a challenging discussion. Her love for advocacy and the law has led her to pursue her Law Degree from the University of London, UK as the first step towards advancing her career as a lawyer in Canada and her GPLLM at the University of Toronto is the cherry on top. As a lobbyist, she is very often called upon to attend key stakeholder meetings with high-level members from all levels of government, including but not limited to CBSA, ESDC, IRCC, and IRB in addition to other political parties to advocate for our clients and members.
Lulwa is always in pursuit of ways to advance her skills, to learn, and to share her knowledge with others, as she believes that collectively, the profession is stronger and that is how we mature and evolve.
