The first priority is to minimize the risk of rejection by applying to your best-suited category/program, and completing the application correctly. However, for most applications there is no appeal mechanism available. Sometimes you can re-apply, especially if you have new information to support your case.
Why should my immigration consultant be a ICCRC member?
On April 12, 2004, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations were amended to require that individuals who represent clients for a fee, must be members in good standing with a Canadian provincial or territorial law society. ICCRC (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council) was selected as the new regulator of immigration consultants in Canada, replacing the former regulator CSIC (Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants) as of July, 2011.
The objectives of the regulations governing the use of representatives are to: ensure that all persons are represented in a professional, competent and lawful manner, presreve the integrity of Canada's immigration program, enhance public confidence in Canada's immigration and refugee system, and protect vulnerable clients from exploitation.
What is the difference between a lawyer and an ICCRC consultant?
A lawyer is qualified to handle all areas of the law. Canadian immigration procedures are not part of their degree study programs. The ICCRC (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council) is responsible for educating and regulating its members, and protecting you against fraudulent practices. Its members are obligated to perform their work according to the law, and with a strict code of ethics.
A consultant, who is a member of the ICCRC, is qualified to handle only immigration law. As such, immigration consultants have gone through rigorous studies to ensure they know the law and procedures of immigration to Canada.
