As per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Citizenship Act, an RCIC is a member in good standing with the (CICC). An RCIC is legally authorized by the CICC to advise and represent clients in all matters pertaining to Canadian immigration and citizenship. In simple terms, an RCIC can directly liaise with the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and other Canadian employers on your behalf. Let’s explore some of the many reasons to hire an RCIC:
Obtaining an RCIC license involves an in-depth study of the immigration field. Internship with a reputed immigration firm is a part of the process, which provides hands-on knowledge of the immigration industry. An RCIC is well-versed with the IRCC immigration programs as well as IRPA and IRPR frameworks to meticulously guide you at every stage.
Being licensed with a regulatory body ensures that an RCIC adheres to the various by-laws, codes, and acts, enacted by the Council. These regulations and codes have been framed in a way so as to ensure that you are well-informed and fully guarded against potential frauds. This implies that you get to work with reliable, trustworthy, educated, professionals. Any wrongdoing or professional misconduct could be grounds for forfeiture of an RCIC’s license.
In order to maintain the professional license, an RCIC is required to be continually informed
about the latest policy changes. An RCIC also needs to attend seminars, live events, and other
professional courses to stay abreast of the immigration streams, requirements, and temporary
public policies. This ensures that you are familiar with the latest programs and updates, which
could help you make an educated decision about your future.
Although exciting, immigration for permanent or temporary reasons can be perplexing, especially due to the diverse immigration streams of the IRCC. With more than 80 economic class categories, choosing the right immigration pathway is indeed a daunting task. An RCIC is consistently updating their knowledge base and is thus, most competent and qualified to deign customised immigration solutions around your specific needs. An immigration goal, which you may have envisaged as unsurmountable, could well be achievable if you seek an expert’s advice!
A permanent residence, study, temporary residence, or visitor visa application involves a cumbersome load of paper work. The application forms, individual documents, explanation letters, and submission letters all need to be perfectly filled, devoid of errors or omissions. Even a mirror error on your application form (say a wrong job code) could result in rejection. Hiring an RCIC would ensure that all your stress is taken care of, right from providing the correct advice, to filing a foolproof application, to receiving your visa to fly to Canada. Moreover, in circumstances requiring direct co-ordination with an embassy, consulate or any other government department, an RCIC can directly communicate with the authorities, thereby easing your stress and anxiety.
