Our Working Culture

Immigration work is often deadline-driven and does not always fit neatly within standard office hours.

We do not encourage unnecessary overtime; however, senior professionals are expected to take ownership of their responsibilities and exercise reasonable flexibility when urgent client matters, filing deadlines or unexpected case developments require attention.

We value professional responsibility, sound judgment, efficiency, accountability, continuous learning and teamwork.

Role Overview

As our organization continues to grow and expand internationally, we are seeking an experienced and highly capable Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) to join our Richmond team.

This is not simply a case-processing position.



We are looking for a strong casework specialist and problem solver who can independently assess complex situations, develop well-reasoned immigration strategies, identify risks, review the work of the case processing team, and provide clear professional guidance.

Key Responsibilities:

* Conduct client consultations and independently assess immigration options and risks;
* Develop strategies for complex and higher-risk immigration matters;
* Review applications, submissions and supporting documents prepared by the case processing team;
* Identify inconsistencies, missing evidence, compliance concerns and potential weaknesses before submission;
* Provide professional guidance and direction to case processing staff;
* Handle complex matters requiring senior RCIC judgment;
* Conduct immigration research and remain current with legislation, regulations, policies and program changes;
* Assist with procedural fairness responses, refusal analysis, reconsideration requests and other complex submissions;
* Contribute to internal quality control, case-management procedures and team development; and
* Use technology and appropriate AI-assisted tools to improve research, analysis and efficiency while maintaining professional oversight and confidentiality.

Skills & Competencies:

· Strong Professional Judgment
You should be able to look beyond templates and checklists, ask the right questions, verify facts, research applicable law and policy, identify risks and consider all lawful and professionally responsible options before making a recommendation.

· Detail-Oriented & Solution-Driven
We value professionals who are analytical, resourceful,



responsible, adaptable and able to identify issues that others may overlook.

· Technology Proficiency
Strong working knowledge of IRCC portals, digital document management, case-management systems, online research and modern productivity tools is expected.

· Leadership Potential
You should be comfortable reviewing the work of others, providing qualified guidance and progressively taking greater responsibility for case strategy, quality control and team development.

·

Qualifications:

· Active RCIC Licence
Must be a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC).

· Strong Hands-On Experience
Substantial practical experience across Canadian immigration matters. Experience with several of the following is preferred:

· Express Entry, PNP, LMIA, work permits, study permits, family sponsorship, temporary residence, business/entrepreneur immigration, procedural fairness responses, refusals and complex submissions.

·

Additional Requirement

As part of our pre-employment process, all successful candidates will be required to complete a Criminal Record Check prior to final confirmation of employment.
Please note that the cost of the Criminal Record Check is the responsibility of the successful candidate.

How to Apply:

If you are an experienced RCIC who enjoys solving complex cases, thinking beyond templates and taking professional responsibility for your work, we would be pleased to hear from you.

Please submit your resume and cover letter (in English) highlighting your relevant experience and bilingual skills to [email protected].

Include your legal work status in Canada in the application.

We thank all applicants for their interest; only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

Pay: $85,000.00-$105,000.00 per year
