China News Network Toronto November 25th The Canadian government has recently established the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants to strengthen supervision of immigration consultants.
The Authority is the official regulatory body for immigration and citizenship consultants across Canada. All fee-based consultants must be licensed by the Authority to work with the Canadian Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Affairs.
This agency regulates immigration and citizenship consultants in accordance with the Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Act. The Authority is responsible for overseeing the immigration consulting industry and protecting the public and reputable consultants from fraudulent vulnerable groups. It can investigate professional violations and punish violation consultants.
Grand Government stressed that from now on, completing new, competency-based diploma courses will be the only way for people interested in immigration and citizenship consultants to enter the industry, and they must already have a bachelor's degree to enter the industry. Authority license holders must also complete annual continuing professional development requirements and annual practice assessments.
Canadian officials said the new establishment of the administration is a key part of the Canadian government's efforts to combat fraud in the immigration system.
