ICCRC is a Canadian national regulatory body that furthers and safeguards the public interest by supervising consultants across the globe, pertaining to immigration, employment or studies in Canada. This implies that for Immigration Consultants or international student advisors to be taking up cases relating to Canada, they must be registered with ICCRC and regulated thereby.
