Think Your Immigration Consultant, Lawyer,or Agency Made a Serious Mistake? Don't Wait.
Every month, we speak with people who lost status, missed deadlines, received refusals, or lost immigration opportunities because of mistakes made by a consultant, recruiter, agency, or representative.
Common examples include:
❌ Failure to communicate a refusal letter
❌ Missing restoration deadlines
❌ Filing the wrong application
❌ Ignoring IRCC requests
❌ Providing incorrect advice
❌ Charging unauthorized fees
❌ Misrepresenting information in an application
Many people don't realize they may have legal remedies.
Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to:
✅ File a complaint with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) if the representative is an RCIC
✅ File a complaint with the Law Society if the representative is a lawyer or paralegal
✅ Pursue compensation through Small Claims Court or the civil courts for negligence, breach of contract, or recovery of fees
✅ Report the matter to the Police if the conduct involves fraud, forgery, theft, or other criminal activity
But don't wait too long.
In many cases, Ontario and Quebec have a 2-year limitation period to bring a civil claim. Waiting too long could affect your ability to recover compensation.
For example:
📅 Your application was refused in June 2024.
📅 Your consultant never informed you.
📅 You only discovered the refusal months later after losing your status.
The clock may start running when you discovered—or reasonably should have discovered—the problem.
If you believe your immigration file was mishandled:
📌 Request your complete file immediately
📌 Keep all contracts, receipts, and emails
📌 Seek legal advice promptly
📌 Know your rights before limitation periods expire
Sometimes the immigration problem can be fixed.
Sometimes the damage cannot be undone—but accountability is still possible.
