The new college will be expected, by the regulations, to make sure that there is adequate, constant training, to make sure that immigration consultants who are members of the college have the training to make them competent and able to provide very good services to our clients.
The current regulator has been also working towards tightening requirements for entry into the profession of immigration consulting.
In the fall of 2018, the regulator launched a process to identify potential providers of a post-graduate diploma program, and on May 1, 2019, the council announced the launch of this new program.
In the interim, as the provisions of the bill relating to the college don't come into force until royal assent, we expect that the regulator will conduct business as usual but continue what it is doing to strengthen the entry requirements for its members and also beef up those requirements and the expectations it has of its members.
