If you've typed "immigration consultant Mississauga" or "immigration consultant near me" into Google recently, you've seen a wall of results. Some are licensed. Many are not. The difference between the two isn't just a credential on paper — it's legal accountability, professional insurance, and a regulator you can actually complain to if something goes wrong.
IMMERGITY is a licensed RCIC immigration consultancy based in Mississauga, Ontario. This page exists to answer the questions people in Mississauga and Brampton are actually searching for — and to be direct about who we are, what we do, and how to verify that we are who we say we are.
What Is an RCIC — And Why Does It Matter in Mississauga?
An RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant) is a professional licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) — the federal regulatory body that governs immigration consultants in Canada. Only RCICs, immigration lawyers, and Quebec notaries are legally authorized to provide immigration advice and represent clients before IRCC for a fee.
Everyone else — regardless of what they call themselves — is operating illegally. "Immigration advisor," "visa consultant," "migration specialist," "notary public" (outside Quebec): none of these are regulated designations for Canadian immigration. They have no oversight, no complaints process, and no professional liability insurance protecting you.
In Mississauga and Brampton specifically, unregulated ghost consultants are a documented problem. The CICC receives hundreds of complaints annually from GTA residents who paid thousands of dollars to unlicensed individuals and received either incorrect advice, botched applications, or outright fraud. IRCC does not accept "my consultant told me to" as a valid defence for a misrepresentation finding — you bear the consequences of your representative's errors.
To verify any immigration consultant's license, search the CICC public register at college-ic.ca. Our license number is R705848. Search it now — it takes 30 seconds and should be the first thing you do before retaining anyone.

How to Find the Right Immigration Consultant in Mississauga
Whether you choose IMMERGITY or another firm, here are the non-negotiables before you sign anything or pay anyone:
- Verify the CICC license: Go to college-ic.ca, search by name or license number. If the person is not in the register as "Active," do not proceed.
- Get a written retainer agreement: Any RCIC is required by CICC bylaws to provide a written service agreement before beginning work. No written agreement = red flag.
- Ask about professional liability insurance: RCICs are required to carry E&O insurance. Ask for confirmation.
- Don't pay cash or e-transfer to individuals: Legitimate consultancies invoice through a registered business. Cash-only arrangements are a common fraud pattern in the GTA.
- Start with a free assessment: You should know where you stand before paying anyone. Our Eligibility Assessment gives you a full picture in minutes — for free.
Common Immigration Questions from Mississauga and Brampton Residents
These are the questions we hear most often from GTA clients:
"I have a job offer in Mississauga — does it help my Express Entry?" As of March 25, 2025, job offer CRS points were removed from Express Entry. A job offer no longer adds CRS points. It may still help with certain PNP streams. Check your full profile on the Eligibility Assessment.
"I'm in Brampton on a work permit — can I apply for PR from here?" Yes. Canadian work experience gained in Brampton, Mississauga, or anywhere in Canada counts toward Express Entry CEC eligibility. One year of skilled work experience (NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3) qualifies you. Use the FSW 67-Point Calculator to check your grid score.
"My spouse is outside Canada and I want to sponsor them — how long does it take from Mississauga?" Outland spousal sponsorship currently takes approximately 12 months. Location in Canada (Mississauga vs. anywhere else) does not affect processing time — IRCC processes nationally. Our Spousal Sponsorship Evaluator can assess your eligibility now.
"Is the Ontario PNP a good option from Mississauga?" The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has multiple streams. Human Capital Priorities (HCP) stream draws directly from the Express Entry pool. Masters Graduate and PhD Graduate streams are available for Ontario post-secondary graduates. Use the PNP Program Finder to see which OINP streams you qualify for.
