Falling for Unrealistic Promises
Beware of consultants who guarantee success or make unrealistic promises, such as a 100% guarantee of getting a visa or permanent residency. Immigration processes are governed by strict laws, and no consultancy can guarantee the outcome. Always verify their claims against official Canadian immigration guidelines provided by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).Failing to Verify Credentials
Many individuals fall victim to fraud by hiring unregulated consultants. Ensure that the consultancy is authorized and employs certified immigration professionals, such as Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) or immigration lawyers. You can verify their credentials on the official website of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC).Ignoring Reviews and Reputation
Choosing a consultancy without checking their reviews, reputation, or success rate can lead to poor service or even scams. Look for client testimonials, independent reviews, and case studies. Be cautious if the consultancy lacks transparency or has a history of complaints or negative feedback.
