RCIC - Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant

College of Immigration & Citizenship Consultants in Canada

What is an RCIC?

A Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) is a licensed and authorized professional who assists individuals in navigating the complex Canadian immigration system. The Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) regulates and oversees the RCIC profession, ensuring that all consultants adhere to a strict code of ethics and professional standards.

Why Choose an RCIC?

Expertise

RCICs are experts in Canadian immigration laws, policies, and procedures. They undergo rigorous training and examinations to obtain their licenses and are required to stay current with the latest changes in immigration rules.

Personalized Guidance

RCICs provide tailored advice based on your unique circumstances. They can help you understand the most suitable immigration pathway, whether it’s Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), or family sponsorship.

Application Success

Having an RCIC increases your chances of a successful immigration application.

They will help you complete the necessary forms, gather required documents, and submit your application correctly.

Ethical Practices

RCICs follow a strict code of ethics, ensuring that your interests are protected, and you receive honest, ethical, and reliable guidance. They must safeguard your information and details, and maintain a high level of competence in immigration laws.

The Role of RCICs in Various Immigration Streams

Express Entry

The Express Entry system is one of the most popular pathways to Canadian immigration, and RCICs play a vital role in helping candidates through this process. They assess your eligibility, calculate your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, and provide guidance to enhance your score. They also ensure that your application is submitted accurately and on time, increasing your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

Each Canadian province and territory has its own PNP, which allows them to nominate candidates who can contribute to their local labor market and economy. RCICs are well-versed in the specific requirements of each PNP, making them invaluable in guiding candidates through these programs.

Family Sponsorship

Canada values family reunification, and RCICs help families navigate the sponsorship process. They ensure that sponsors meet the financial requirements and assist in preparing the sponsorship application to bring loved ones to Canada.

Study Permits and Work Permits

RCICs can also help individuals obtain study permits and work permits, ensuring that they meet all the necessary criteria and documentation for these temporary visas. Whether you are a student looking to study in Canada or a professional seeking work opportunities, an RCIC can simplify the process.
