Note: Not all Canadian Visa companies use authorized immigration consultants. Since 2004, immigration consultants have been required to complete an accredited program to become authorized in the business of Canadian immigration. The accredited program provides consultants with substantial knowledge regarding immigration law. Additionally, the program also includes the latest procedures regarding immigration and citizenship in Canada.
Authorized Immigration consultants are qualified and regulated by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CCIC). Any breach of ethical conduct could mean that an RCIC loses the right to assist with immigration applications.
