On November 23, 2021, the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) was replaced by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC).
The Government gave the College increased regulatory powers such as the ability to investigate professional misconduct, take disciplinary measures against fraudulent licensees, and obtain court injunctions against unauthorized immigration practitioners (UAP).
These expanded powers will be directed to the protection of both the public and the consultants.
The Government announced that the complete transition of the ICCRC into the CICC will probably take at least one year.

In his recent interviews, Canadian Immigration Minister, Sean Fraser told that he is ready to increase immigration levels if there will be such a demand to address labour shortages.
Currently, Canada is experiencing extensive job shortages in many spheres of the economy since fewer immigrants arriving from overseas due to the pandemic.
The Immigrations Levels Plan 2022-2024 is going to be announced by February 10, 2022. In 2022, Canada should admit 411,000 new immigrants but the Minister said that he is “very much open to” inviting even more candidates.
