BBB TIPS
1-Immigration Consultants must be registered with ICCRC. Please check the Council’s online public register to ensure that your Immigration Consultant is in good standing.
2-Beware if you are not asked to sign a retainer agreement/service contract. This is a document prepared by an Immigration Consultant stating that they are providing immigration services for you in exchange for a fee. An Immigration Consultant must provide you with a retainer agreement/contract before any services begin. You and the Immigration Consultant must both sign and date the retainer agreement/contract.
3-You should always be provided with a copy of any forms you sign for your records.
4-Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) are only licensed to provide immigration services. If an RCIC is offering you a job placement service under a separate agreement or contract, then you should ensure that they are a qualified and certified recruiter who is licensed to offer such services.
5-No one can guarantee an application approval. The decision for any immigration application is up to the visa officer.
6-All licensed Immigration Consultants require Error and Omissions (E&O) insurance.
7-Be cautious if you are asked for a cash payment as it is usually not trackable. Acceptable payment methods include cheque, credit card, or bank transfer.
