Do Not Become a Victim of Immigration Fraud. Learn How to Verify Your Legal Representative.
March is Fraud Prevention Month in Canada. You certainly want to retain an authorized and legal immigration professional to represent you before Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), which is the department of the Government of Canada with responsibility for matters dealing with immigration to Canada, refugees, and Canadian citizenship.
‘Ghost Consultants’ are ILLEGAL and they continuously scam thousands of people every year. Don’t let that person be YOU! Victims are often asked to pay exorbitant fees that financially cripple them and for services that were never conducted.
The Canadian law authorizes only three categories of professionals to assist and represent a client for a fee:
Canadian Lawyers
Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants, members in good standing of ICCRC (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council)
Public Notaries of Quebec
All the members of these three categories, have graduated from a specific study program and have passed a licensing exam, plus criminal and good conduct screening, before being licensed to practice. Furthermore, they are continuously bound to respect strict regulations in the relationship with their clients in order to maintain their license.
