A Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) is licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) and authorized by the Government of Canada to represent clients with IRCC. Working with an RCIC ensures your representative is qualified, insured, and accountable.

Question 3

Can I apply if I was previously refused?

Document requirements vary by program, but typically include a valid passport, education credentials, language test results (IELTS/CELPIP/TEF), proof of work experience, police certificates, and medical exams. We provide a personalized checklist after your consultation.
