Unfortunately, the term “Agent” gives the impression of an unauthorized representative, ghost counsel, and/or individuals who do not act in the best interest of the client. Thus, we go to great lengths to help the public understand that being an Immigration consultant is a Regulated/Licensed Immigration professional in Canada. Consultants are bound by laws and regulations in Canada that ensure we act in the best interest of our clients. Consultants underwent an extensive training program in Immigration law and undertook a professional exam that tests our competence and grasp of Canadian immigration, as well as the applicability of these laws, policies and procedure to clients. Just like Lawyers or paralegals, we are required to finetune our skills and knowledge through continuing professional education.
