Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC)?
An RCIC is a licensed immigration consultant regulated by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). Only RCICs and lawyers can legally charge for immigration advice in Canada. Always verify your consultant's license at the CICC website.
How much does an immigration consultant cost in Richmond Hill?
Fees vary widely: Express Entry applications $2,000–$5,000, family sponsorship $2,000–$4,000, work permits $1,500–$3,000, refugee claims $3,000–$8,000+. Most consultants offer free initial consultations. Always get a written retainer agreement with clear fees.
Do I need a consultant or can I apply myself in Richmond Hill?
Simple, straightforward applications (like Express Entry with high CRS scores) can often be done yourself using IRCC's online portal. Consider a consultant if: your case is complex, you've been refused before, you have inadmissibility issues, or you want peace of mind with a major life decision.
How do I avoid immigration fraud?
Only use licensed RCICs or immigration lawyers. Verify their license at college-ic.ca. Never pay cash without a receipt. Get a written retainer agreement. Be wary of guarantees — no one can guarantee approval. Report fraud to CICC or CBSA.
What's the difference between an immigration consultant and an immigration lawyer?
Both can represent you before IRCC. Lawyers can also represent you in Federal Court for judicial reviews of refused applications. For most standard applications, an RCIC is sufficient and often more affordable. For complex cases or appeals, a lawyer may be better.
