Featured consultants

Consultants who pay to appear here. It is a paid placement, not a recommendation — every listing carries the same register data as the rest of the directory.

What a consultant can help with

Before you pay anyone

Only three groups may charge for Canadian immigration advice: RCICs, lawyers, and Quebec notaries. Anyone else taking your money for it is breaking the law.

  • No licence number — a real consultant will give you theirs without hesitating. Search it here before you pay.
  • Guarantees a visa — nobody can promise an outcome. Only IRCC decides, and a guarantee is the clearest sign you are being sold something else.
  • Asks you to sign blank forms — or to leave sections for them to fill in later. You are responsible for what is submitted in your name.
  • Wants cash with no written agreement — a licensed consultant must give you a retainer agreement setting out the fee and the work.
  • Tells you to say something untrue — misrepresentation can bar you from Canada for five years, and it is you who carries that ban, not them.

If someone has already taken your money, the College accepts complaints about licensed consultants, and the CBSA about people practising without a licence.

How it works

Three steps, and none of them cost anything.

1

Search by name, city or RCIC number

Every consultant licensed in Canada appears here, drawn from the CICC public register — not a curated shortlist, and not consultants who paid to be found.

If you already have a name or a number from someone who contacted you, search it. A result means the College holds a record for them; no result is worth asking about before you go further.

2

Read the profile before you call

Location, languages spoken, areas of practice and licence type. Consultants who have claimed their listing add their own background, the services they offer and answers to the questions they get asked most.

Every profile links straight to that person's entry on the CICC register, so you can confirm their status at the source rather than taking ours for it.

3

Reach out on your terms

Message a consultant through their profile and it reaches them directly — we do not sell enquiries or pass your details to anyone who did not ask for them.

Some publish a booking calendar, some list a phone number or email behind a quick check. Contacting a consultant costs nothing, and speaking to more than one before you commit is normal.

Are you an RCIC?

Your listing is already here, built from the public register. Claim it to add your bio, services and photo, take enquiries through the site, and — if you want one — run it on your own domain.

New to practice?

A short letter for RCICs in their first years: how other consultants structure retainers and fees, the tools and systems they run their files on, what to automate and what never to, and how they find clients without paying for leads.

Written for people who already hold a licence — not immigration advice, and not for applicants.

Common questions

What people ask before choosing a consultant.

What is an RCIC?

A Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant — someone licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) to give paid immigration advice. Only RCICs, lawyers and notaries in Quebec may represent you for a fee.

Does rcic.link recommend or vet consultants?

No. This is a directory, not a referral service. Listings come from the public register, and appearing here says only that someone is licensed — it is not an endorsement, and paid placements are labelled as sponsored.

How do I confirm someone is really licensed?

Every profile links to that consultant's entry on the CICC public register, which is the authoritative source. Check there before paying anyone — licence status can change after our records were last refreshed.

Does it cost anything to search or make contact?

No. Searching, viewing profiles and contacting a consultant are free. Consultants may pay for a managed profile or a sponsored placement, which never changes what the register says about them.
