An applicant considering a specific consultancy for their Canadian immigration process asked the group for an opinion on its reliability.
What the thread advised, generally applicable to any consultancy:- Confirm the consultant/firm is regulated by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). This is the baseline check for legitimacy in Canada — an unregulated consultant carries real risk.
- Calculate your own CRS score independently and assess your realistic chances of an invitation yourself, rather than relying solely on a consultancy's assessment of your prospects.
Takeaway: before signing with any consultancy, verify their CICC registration directly, and independently calculate your CRS score so you can judge their advice against your own numbers rather than taking their assessment at face value.
