Find an immigration representative

Federal, provincial and territorial governing bodies

To find out if an immigration consultant, lawyer, notary or paralegal is licensed to represent you or to provide you with immigration advice, you must first know which of these organizations they belong to:

Effective June 30, 2011, the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) is the designated regulator for immigration consultants.

Most law societies allow online searches to check whether a particular person is a member in good standing of that society. The Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick law societies do not allow this. To find out whether a person is a member of one of these associations, you must contact the law society in question directly. Paralegals regulated by a law society can provide you with immigration advice and represent you. Currently, only paralegals in Ontario are regulated by a law society) the Law Society of Upper Canada).
