For Immigration To Quebec, Hire Only Authorized Representatives!

The province of Quebec is amongst the most well-known immigration destinations of the world. For the uninitiated, the renowned Montreal is a major and the most populated city of Quebec. One can migrate to Canada under Quebec Immigration programs. The province offers various Immigration Programs for permanent workers (Quebec skilled Immigration), or for the purpose of doing business (Quebec self employed or Quebec entrepreneur programs), or for an investor (Quebec Immigrant Investor) program.

If you are hiring the services of a paid consultant for Immigration to Quebec, then such an immigration consultant must be an authorized representative. He must have been authorized by the Quebec Government.  During February, 2011, the Quebec Immigrant Investor)Quebec Immigrant Investor introduced a new version of Application for Selection Certificate for businessmen, investors, and permanent workers for the Quebec province.

This form contains columns requiring the registration details of the authorized representatives, if you are hiring the services of an Immigration Consultant.

In this new version of Quebec Immigration application form, it is indicated that if the applicant has used any paid Quebec immigration services, within the application framework, then it is essential to provide details regarding the immigration consultant for identification purposes. Moreover, the applicant has to attach the power of attorney – authorizing such a Quebec immigration consultant

to represent the client – along with his application.       

Applications for a Selection Certificate are submitted to the Quebec Department of Immigration and Cultural Communities. It helps to hire paid immigration representatives as they are best equipped to guide the prospective Quebec Immigrants on complicated and extensive documents requirements. In addition, an authorized representative can deal with the Quebec immigration department and also the follow-up, during the filing and the course of application processing with the Quebec Government Immigration department.

More often than not, this department communicates, or prefers to communicate in French language. Hence, hiring such an authorized representative helps in the overall smooth processing of the Quebec Immigration application.Immigration Consultant - not licensed authorized representatives registered with and authorized by Quebec Government or companies not hiring services of such registered authorized representatives - are doing illegal business if they are claiming their ability to counsel and guide you on Quebec Immigration.

Basically, an unauthorized immigration representative is acting as a documentation guide. And, if you wish to hire such a representative, then you might as well file directly as you are not getting any value addition service, nor does such a consultant has any right to follow-up on your behalf. Thus, while taking a final decision on the issue related to filing your Quebec Immigration application, either hire or deal with a company which is associated with a Quebec Government authorized representative.

Here is a summary of benefits that comes your way when you deal with a certified Quebec Immigration Consultant or deal with a company whose clients are serviced by a Quebec Certified authorized Immigration representative:

A Quebec Government certified Immigration consultant

is your assurance of quality. The certified consultants are equipped with the latest information on immigration law, procedures and practices, and they go about their business according to a strict, enforceable Code of Conduct. To become certified consultants, one must pass a rigorous application process, which requires evidence of good character, and tests knowledge and language skills. For added security and client protection, certified consultants are fully insured for errors and omissions and can be subject to complaints that are all duly investigated by the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC).

Of late, Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) have taken over as the regulator of immigration consultants in Canada Accordingly, the reference to the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants

(CSIC) has been removed and consultants who are currently members in good standing of the CSIC will be deemed members of the ICCRC. The Council’s mandate is to protect the consumers of immigration consulting services and also ensure the competent and professional conduct of its members.       

Thus, you can formally complain to the ICCRC for any misdeed or professional misconduct of a Quebec Authorized Immigration consultant. No such course is available when you hire an unauthorized Immigration representative. In addition, such an unauthorized representative would not have been formally educated in Canadian Immigration laws or gets an opportunity to update knowledge on regular and ongoing basis. What you get is from an unauthorized immigration representative is information available on the internet, something that you are already may be aware of!

The Government of Quebec and related Quebec Immigration office will not deal with non-authorized representatives who are paid a consulting fee for their service. This key benefit and value addition come your way when you deal with an authorized immigration representative, or with a company that offers you the services of such an authorized representative. It is difficult for a busy executive or businessmen to find time to deal directly with immigration agencies.

Much more importantly, such a representative has adequate knowledge of immigration laws to deal effectively with immigration agencies, on your behalf. In addition, such trained and authorized professional can represent you effectively in addressing Quebec Immigration Office queries, refusal

and rebuttals.

Please note that effective February 2, 2011, only Quebec-licensed lawyers, notaries and immigration consultants will be entitled to represent clients in Quebec immigration matters. As a result, immigration professionals, including lawyers from other jurisdictions or countries, not licensed in Quebec, are not able to represent clients in Quebec immigration matters, such as temporary foreign work permits and permanent residence applications.
