The Government of Canada has announced a significant update regarding the regulations governing immigration and citizenship consultants.

Effective July 15, 2026, the new measures empower the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants to implement more rigorous disciplinary actions and increased penalties for misconduct.

Key updates include expanded reporting requirements, a more transparent public register of licensed consultants set for 2027, and the establishment of clear guidelines for a compensation fund to aid victims of financial loss.

These reforms aim to ensure that individuals seeking to move to Canada have access to reliable, accountable, and high-quality legal representation.
