How to Verify Your Canada Spouse Visa Consultant
Check the CICC register, confirm the RCIC licence, and avoid ghost agents
Why Verifying Your Consultant Matters
For a Canada spouse or partner sponsorship, only a licensed RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant) or a Canadian lawyer may legally represent you before IRCC. In Gujarat, awareness of this is low, and unlicensed 'ghost' agents take on cases they are not authorized to handle.
A ghost agent is not accountable to any regulator and may submit weak or even falsified applications. Verifying your consultant before you pay is the simplest way to protect your family, your money, and your immigration record.
How to Verify an RCIC in Three Steps
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1. Ask for the number | Request the consultant's RCIC licence number in writing |
| 2. Search the CICC register | Look up the number on the CICC public register online |
| 3. Confirm it is active | Check the name matches and the licence status is active, not suspended |

Red Flags of a Ghost or Unlicensed Consultant
No licence number
They cannot or will not give an RCIC number to check on the CICC register.
Not on your forms
They refuse to be named as your representative on IRCC applications.
Cash only
They demand cash, give no proper receipts, and avoid written contracts.
Guaranteed approval
They promise a visa or PR outcome — something no honest RCIC can guarantee.
Fake documents
They suggest fake marriage proof or false statements, which is misrepresentation.
Disappears in trouble
They are unreachable once IRCC raises a question or a refusal arrives.
Do Not Pay Before You Verify
The most dangerous shortcut a ghost agent offers is fabricated relationship evidence or false statements. Misrepresentation can make the applicant inadmissible with a ban commonly cited as five years, on top of a refusal. Spend five minutes verifying the RCIC number on the CICC register first — it is free and it can save your family years. Future Link's licence is R506940.
