Unauthorized Consultants
Unfortunately, there are many unauthorized consultants who are not regulated by the ICCRC, meaning that they have not met with the ICCRC's ethical or educational requirements. They are not able to sign any documents as an official representative and do not have any formal training in Canadian immigration laws. The consequences of utilizing an unauthorized representative can be severe and unfortunate, such as the denial of your application.
