Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RCIC?
An RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant) is a licensed professional regulated by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). Only RCICs, immigration lawyers, and Quebec notaries are legally authorised to charge fees for immigration advice in Canada.
How do I verify an immigration consultant is licensed in Canada?
Check the CICC public register at college-ic.ca or use the immi.directory verification tool. Enter the consultant's name or college ID. If they are not listed as 'Eligible to Provide Service', they are not authorised to charge for immigration advice.
How many licensed immigration consultants are in Canada?
As of 2026-09, there are 10,769 RCICs eligible to provide service in Canada, according to the CICC public register. Ontario has the most, followed by British Columbia and Alberta.
What is the difference between an RCIC and an immigration lawyer?
Both are authorised to provide immigration advice for a fee. Immigration lawyers can also represent clients in Federal Court (judicial review), which RCICs cannot. For most visa applications, an RCIC is a cost-effective alternative to a lawyer.
