The rights of applicants applying for immigration status to Canada are often enhanced when represented by effective legal counsel.
If you intend to hire the services of a professional to represent your interests before the Canadian immigration authorities, only Attorneys who are members in good standing of a Canadian Law Society or Consultants who are licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) are permitted to act as your representative under Canadian law.
If you intend to hire the services of a professional to represent your interests in Quebec immigration matters, only Attorneys who are members in good standing of the Quebec Law Society (the Barreau du Québec), or Consultants who are licensed by the Quebec Ministry of Immigration, Francization and Integration are permitted to act as you representative under Quebec law.
Section 91 of the Immigration Act authorizes lawyers in good standing of a law society, Students-at-law and Immigration Consultants to represent your interests.
Government statistics show that lawyers have a higher success rate than consultants when representing applicants to Canada.
Immigration.ca, through Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Resource Center (CCIRC) Inc., employs a highly seasoned team of actively practicing licensed representatives with a combined experience of more than 90 years in immigration matters.
