Search for the person in the public register of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). Every licensed consultant is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) and has a licence number. Before you sign anything with a Canadian immigration consultant in Ontario, ask for that number and confirm it matches the name on the register. Lawyers and Quebec notaries can also represent you, but nobody else can legally charge for immigration advice.

Yes. Most of the process happens online, so you can work with an immigration consultant in Ontario from any country. We review your documents, prepare your forms, and keep you updated by email or video call. You do not need to be in the province to begin.

Both can legally advise you and represent you before IRCC. Consultants focus entirely on immigration and are licensed by the CICC. Lawyers are licensed by a provincial law society and can also appear in court, which matters if your case goes to the Federal Court. For most applications, such as Express Entry, work permits, and study permits, a licensed consultant is fully qualified to handle your file.

We offer Canadian immigration services in Toronto and across Ontario for Express Entry, provincial nominations, permanent residence, student visas, work permits, and pilot programs for agri-food and rural communities. If you are unsure which route fits you, we assess your profile and recommend the best option.

We ask about your education, work history, language skills, family situation, and goals. Then we explain which pathways you qualify for, what each one costs, and how long it may take. You leave with a clear next step, even if you decide not to hire us. Book your consultation with Ikaigai Immigration to find out where you stand with Ontario immigration services today.
