How To Know If An Immigration Consultant Is Authorized or Not?

Every year a lot of people from all around the world immigrate to different countries from their home country. One of the major destinations for immigrants from all over the world is Canada. Immigrating to Canada is not an easy task and could be a very complex procedure. Most people who want to immigrate to Canada fail to do so because they do not understand the immigration process properly. For this reason, a lot of people who want to immigrate to Canada hire immigration consultants who can assist them in the immigration process. 

However, there are many fraud immigration consultants out there and to avoid those frauds, you should check whether the immigration consultant is authorized or not. Generally, immigration consultants who are authorized are registered with the  Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council, commonly referred to as ICCRC. If you are living in Dubai and want to immigrate to Canada then you should look for some ICCRC registered immigration consultants in Dubai who can assist you in your immigration process.

 

To know whether the immigration consultant you are choosing is registered with the ICCRC or not, you should ask the immigration consultant to provide you with copies of documents that can prove that they are registered with the ICCRC. The ICCRC license numbers start with the letter “R” and have 6 digits, hence if the ICCRC registered consultants in Dubai provide you with a copy of a license that contains an irregular license number then you should avoid hiring them. 

Other than this, you could also use the website of the ICCRC to crosscheck whether the information provided by the immigration consultant is genuine or not. For this, you will just need to fill in their name, registration number, and their company name on the official website of the ICCRC. 

Once you have verified that the immigration consultant you are hiring is authorized properly, then you are all set to hire them for your immigration process.
