The Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) is targeting fake immigration consultants located in Canada and across the globe.
Thousands of Indians migrate to Canada every year. Potential immigrants fall prey to immigration fraud. As large numbers of Indians wish to migrate to Canada, the number of incidents of them falling prey to immigration scams or being duped by fake immigration agents is very high.
ICCRC oversees immigration consultants and international student advisors.
Those who offer immigration services abroad still remain subject to Canadian law even if they reside outside of Canada.
About 44 immigration consultants based in India have recently been listed by the ICCRC as fake immigration consultants who are not registered and authorized to provide citizenship and immigration services in Canada. Meanwhile, disciplinary action was taken against a few ICCRC members who engaged in fraudulent activities.

The IRCC has promised to speed up the approval of visas.
However, according to the timetable issued by the IRCC, it takes 280 days to obtain a Canadian visitor visa in China, which is one month slower than a week ago.
A while ago, the IRCC announced that there will be significant delays in various immigration application services under the pandemic. At present, the department is giving priority to processing applications for those who are not hindered by travel restrictions.
According to journalists from the Chinese Canadian outlet Van People, many applicants will have to wait a long time to be reviewed.

On June 18, 2021, thirty experts and practitioners in the Canadian immigration field were brought together by the Public Policy Forum to discuss the digitally modernized immigration ecosystem in Canada.
In the roundtable, Strengthening Canada’s Immigration Ecosystem, experts mostly focused on the country’s modernized immigration system and agreed that there is a need to build an anti-racist
immigration ecosystem that supports all categories of migrants since newcomers to Canada deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and technology is a tool that can help prioritize newcomers.
