College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants - CICC
The College's transition from ICCRC To CICC
The College was created by an act of the Canadian Parliament: The College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Act (Canada) ("the College Act").
The College Act was passed by Parliament in June 2019.
Pursuant to an order of the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) was continued as the College on November 23, 2021.
"The Government of Canada works to protect the integrity of our immigration system. Part of this means ensuring consultants are properly licensed, so that applicants who use their services can count on high quality advice. The opening of this College is an important milestone, and I look forward to its success in supporting the renewal of Canada's population and workforce." - The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
The College Act gives the College investigation and enforcement powers like other professional regulatory bodies (for example, provincial law societies, accounting regulators and professional colleges in the healthcare sector).
The College is governed by a Board of Directors comprising 4 licensees of the College and 5 public representatives appointed by the Minister.
