Canada: Use Consultants

canada: The regulatory council, which was set up in 2011, sets the rules for how immigration consultants conduct themselves, providing education, licensing and discipline, according to CBC. It's needed to help and protect those who want to come to Canada, overseeing approximately 4,000 consultants. The chief concern about the apparent crisis confronting the ICCRC Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council is that those who will suffer most are the immigrants and refugees who often use consultants in their efforts to live in Canada. It is run by a 15-member board of directors. It's not going after the crooked consultants adequately and at risk is the public the immigrants, refugees and vulnerable visitors. The council is there to protect the public, said immigration lawyer Richard Kurland. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
