What is an RCIC?

RCIC stands for Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant. All RCICs must be in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) to legally collect fees for immigration services in Canada, including providing representation and advice. Additionally, individuals regulated by a Canadian Law Society or the Chambre des notaires du Québec can also offer these services for a fee.

To become an RCIC, one must complete an accredited immigration practitioner program, achieve at least the minimum required score on an approved language ability test, and successfully pass an Entry-to-Practice exam executed by the CICC.

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants must stay relevant with the laws and policies, conduct a professional and ethical practice, and complete Practice Management Education, and Continuing Professional Development Courses annually. The CICC regularly audits RCICs to ensure they are complying with the regulations.

RCICs are able to assess your eligibility, prepare your application, write a supportive submission letter, and follow your application through the whole process while you await a response.

By choosing an RCIC, you can ensure that your immigration process is handled professionally and efficiently.
