Why Choose an RCIC?
Recognized by the Government of Canada (IRCC)
RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant) is an authorized immigration and citizenship representative approved by IRCC to advise and represent clients with regards to Canadian immigration applications.
Immigration - One time Decision
The opportunity to immigrate to Canada is a lifetime opportunity for many applicants. Let’s make the right decisions by taking assistance from an RCIC who understand the Immigration laws and regulations.
Compliance with the LAW
The Government of Canada by law requires that any individual or entity providing Canadian immigration services in return for a fee whether in Canada or abroad must be a member in good standing with the CICC. Otherwise, they are in violation of the Canadian Law.
