On November 23, ICCRC officially announced its continuation as the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants.

The College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants licenses and regulates the practice of Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) and Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors (RISIAs) in the public interest.

The body was established through the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Act, which came into force on December 9, 2020. The said legislation provides the statutory framework to regulate citizenship and immigration consultants.

The new College has a mandate to protect the public and strengthen Canada’s immigration system. The College is authorized to investigate professional misconduct and discipline licensees ensuring greater accountability and increasing public confidence.

In addition, the regulatory body will have the ability to request court injunctions against unlicensed entities providing immigration or citizenship services without authorization.
