What is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) and Why You Should Hire One
What is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC)?
It’s all in the name: a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) is a regulated and approved professional who is authorized and certified to represent and guide you through your application for permanent residence (PR) in Canada.
Who is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC)?
Essentially, your RCIC is your personal assistant throughout the immigration process. We understand that immigration is a complex process and when you trust someone to guide you, you need to feel that you are in good hands. Not just anybody can do that – a person needs to meet certain strict RCIC requirements to become an RCIC and to follow certain rules after that.
It is important to understand that Canadian immigration consultants are not necessarily immigration lawyers, but are highly qualified consultants who have a thorough understanding of Canada’s visa system. An RCIC can assist you in the following ways:
-
- Meeting directly with Canadian Immigration authorities and your Canadian employer on your behalf
- Completing and submitting all paperwork for you, correctly and on time
- Strengthening your application with a personalized immigration strategy
- Educating you about immigration options and pathways you may not have known about
- Keeping up to date with the latest immigration policies and RCIC requirements
- Providing the expertise, you can rely on by working under a strict, regulated code of conduct
Why Use a Regulated Immigration Consultant (RCIC)?
No matter what language you speak, Canadian immigration policies and requirements can seem like a foreign language to the average person. Even if you’ve prepared yourself with plenty of research, the process is still going to be stressful, time-sensitive, and confusing, which is a perfect cocktail for making costly mistakes.
Submitting the wrong document, missing a deadline, or forgetting to provide information is often enough to delay your visa or even result in failing to qualify for it (there’s a penalty of 5 years ban from applying for misrepresentation!).
Moving to a new country is a massive, life-changing decision with high stakes. You can’t afford to have things go wrong when the future of your career and family depends on the success of your visa or PR application.
While those who immigrate on their own may say people search for help because they simply want to save time, there are a couple of more reasons:
-
- licensed professionals with expert knowledge of Canada’s immigration system, policies, and legislation
-
- provide you with a personalized immigration strategy based on your background, skillset, personal history, and goals
-
- review all your supporting documents, complete all the paperwork and submit your applications in a timely manner
-
- liaise with Canadian immigration authorities on your behalf so you don’t have to
It’s Not About the Right Decision, It’s About What Will Make You Feel Comfortable. Is it possible to go through immigration on your own? Yes. But before you lose money and time, it is better to make sure you know what you are up to.
RCICs are there to make immigration feel easy. They are professionals who play in the same team as you to raise your chances for successful immigration.
Whether you choose to go on your own or with a professional, we hope you never lose the feeling that you can make your dream come true. You can get to Canada. And we’re happy to be part of your journey.
