Major Crackdown on Unlicensed Immigration Consultants in Ontario!

In 2025, Ontario has penalized 18 individuals and entities, with total fines reaching nearly $491,000. One consultant alone received 7 separate orders totaling $66,000 for acting without authorization and giving misleading advice.

From my perspective, this is a critical reminder for anyone navigating Canadian immigration: working with licensed, trustworthy consultants isn’t optional — it’s essential. These enforcement actions protect both applicants and the integrity of the immigration system.

⚠️ Always verify your consultant’s credentials and avoid anyone promising guaranteed outcomes. Your future in Canada depends on it.
