Q&A With Robert:

What initially attracted you to Canada, and what made you decide to move there?

The lifestyle is much more relaxed, the business opportunities in the Canadian market, and most importantly, the fantastic nature that exists here.

Which province did you decide to settle in, and what about that province made it work best for you?

I went to British Columbia because of the warmer weather.

Under which program did you immigrate to Canada, and what did you learn from that process?

My parents arrived in Canada with me as a small child on a skilled worker program. It was a long process and waiting, but once we arrived, we were happy. The only thing that took time was to build a community around us.

How does one become an RCIC? What qualifications/ certifications do you need?

An RCIC needs to have a min of a Bachelor's degree and pass an IELTS test with a high score. Then today, you need to do a 2-year immigration law certificate program and pass a licensing test at the end.

Why did you become an RCIC, and how do you feel it benefits potential immigrants the most?

I became an RCIC because I come from a family of immigrants, and I experienced as a child the importance of having someone knowledgeable assisting you in your immigration process. I love the mix of cultures in Canada, which is one of the main things that make Canada great.

How many people have you helped get visas/ permanent residency to Canada, and what have you learnt from helping others with their journey to Canada?

I have helped hundreds of people get work permits and study permits with my team. Dozens of those got PRs over the years.

What advice would you give to someone looking to immigrate to Canada who has no idea where to start?

Think properly about the best pathway for you. And sometimes, even if it looks like a longer one, it could be the better way to ensure you get the best chances to get the PR.
