Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to hire a Registered Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC)?
An RCIC has undergone a rigorous process of studying for a diploma in immigration consultancy, passing exams, and is licensed by the regulatory body of CICC (College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants). An RCIC is mandated to work according to a strict code of conduct, which ensures that the interests of the clients are protected. An RCIC can create a personalized immigration strategy and advice you on the best options available. An RCIC is your liaison with the Canadian Immigration Authorities and your employer. An RCIC is not only licensed to advise clients but also liable for wrongful advice. An RCIC is knowledgeable about filling up the paperwork and preparing the documents, thus reducing chances for visa refusals.
How can I authenticate if I am dealing with a Licensed RCIC?
You can search the name of the representative or the name of the corporation by visiting the official CICC website using this link.
How can I hire you to represent me in my immigration matters?
The process is simple, just follow the steps detailed below:
Step 1: Fill in the free assessment form and I will get back to you with the initial assessment on your profile. The initial assessment will be brief and focused mainly on your eligibility for Canadian immigration.
Step 2: Book an online consultation. Sign an initial consultation agreement and pay the consultation fee using e-transfer or PayPal (consultation fee ranges from CAD 50-200 + HST depending on the immigration pathway).
Step 3: The initial consultation. Discuss your options to immigrate to Canada. Decide if you would like to retain me for your application.
Step 4: Sign a retainer agreement and pay the professional fees. Send documents and follow up from time to time to determine the status of the application.
Why should I pay my consultant, an initial consultation fee?
It is a standard practice for immigration consultancy firms and/or agencies to have clients complete a client intake form and provide relevant immigration-related documents to have an initial assessment of the immigration options available to them.
A detailed assessment is done based on each client’s profile considering more than 100 immigration programs available. Explanation of each client’s immigration options is done in the initial consultation.
Our practice does not offer free initial consultations and/or assessments as any immigration advice entails liability for RCICs. Our procedures comply with the Code of Professional Ethics of RCICs.
Can you (my representative) guarantee the success of my immigration application?
Guaranteeing an immigration application is against the ethical practice and code of conduct of an RCIC. The success of an immigration application is solely based on the client’s qualifications and documents. A guarantee of 100 percent success on immigration applications raises a red flag. An RCIC can help you streamline your application; they can give the right advice and help you in completing the documents and thus reducing the chances of errors.
What are the types of fees charged to the client?
There are 2 types of fees:
- Government fee: This includes application processing fee, biometrics fee, right of permanent resident fee, etc.
- Professional fee: If you hire a consultant, you will be paying a professional fee to the consultant for representing you.
How do you charge me for the services?
The charges for the services are detailed and identified in the retainer agreement. Please read it carefully before signing it.
The estimated total amount of fees that will be collected and held as a Retainer in the Client Account. Based on the payment schedule an invoice will be generated to charge the client. All the payments incur HST.
How can I make the payment?
If you are in Canada, you can use the e-transfer option, Paypal, or bank transfer. If you are outside Canada, you can use wire transfer or Paypal. The bank charges and other service charges must be borne by the remitter.
What is the processing time for my application?
The processing time entirely depends on the visa office as well as the completeness of your documents. The approximate number of days required for the processing of applications can be found here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html
