As part of his role as a Member of Parliament Jasraj’s office includes full time constituency staff based in Calgary.
Jasraj’s constituency staff is committed to assisting you when you encounter problems dealing with federal government departments or agencies, or when you need information on federal government policies. Constituents often need help with personal situations regarding Citizenship and Immigration, Employment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan, Canada Revenue Agency, etc.
While the constituency offices are not intake points for government departments, Jasraj’s staff can make enquiries, facilitate communication, or act as expeditors when processing timeframes seem to have been exceeded by government departments.
Jasraj’s constituency staff can also help you request congratulatory messages for family or friends who are celebrating special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. Please feel free to contact our office to request a congratulatory message.
Jasraj’s office also has a limited supply of Canadian flags and pins that can be provided to individuals and groups upon request.
