Benefits Of Obtaining Immigration Services From A Regulated White Swan Immigration Consultant
A Regulated Consultant is your assurance of quality. Certified consultants are equipped with the latest information on immigration law, procedures and practices and go about their business according to a strict, enforceable Code of Conduct.
Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants Are Educated And Informed
Prior to becoming RCICs, candidates are required to demonstrate their knowledge and language skills with entrance examinations. Since 2004, candidates to become authorized immigration consultants have been required to complete an accredited program. An accredited program provides consultants with essential information regarding immigration law in Canada and proper procedures regarding applications with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Additionally, members of the College are kept well-informed on developments in the immigration field. They are required to complete ongoing professional development and Practice Management Education.
Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants are required to abide by stringent ethical and professional guidelines.
College members are subject to a Code of Ethical Conduct that stipulates proper procedures for their practice. The Code requires all members to adhere to stringent rules, including those regarding quality of service, professionalism, ethical practice and confidentiality. A breach of this code is considered an act of non-compliance; it is taken seriously and dealt with expeditiously by the Council. Additionally, members of the College must provide evidence of good character before being newly regulated, including submitting a police record check.
Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants Are Insured
Members of the College are required to obtain Errors and Omissions Insurance, which protects consumers against unintended actions that may cause financial damage.
The agents of Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants are known to the Regulator.
Members’ agents, or those individuals who work with RCICs on a regular basis, often play a big part in processing and handling important documents and correspondence. RCICs are required to provide to the College a list of agents (with an additional fee of C$500 for each Agent) with whom they work. The actions of these agents reflect upon the member, and members will thus be responsible for ensuring that their agents act with professionalism and integrity.
