Mary has been working as a Canadian Immigration Consultant in Vancouver and in HK since 1988. She has become a Licensed/Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) ever since 2005. She and her experienced and knowledgeable team has assisted thousands of applicants from Hong Kong and Mainland China to successfully immigrate to Canada. You may click here to view part of our credentials and media interviews over the past decades.
In 2004, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) announced that they would only recognize representatives who have the following membership:
No other representative may charge a fee in relation to an application or proceeding, be it inland or overseas. Applications to CIC submitted by other representatives who charged a fee would not be processed and would be returned to the applicants.
Even though we could continue to operate because our Founder Mr. Reiner Rothe was a B.C. lawyer, but in order to comply with the requirement and protect clients’ interest even further, Mary chose to sit for all the required examinations which she passed and also fulfilled all the other stringent requirements. She became one of the “first generation” licensed consultants in 2005 and her CSIC membership no. was M042262.
In June 2011, the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) became the new regulatory body for immigration consultants, it replaced the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC) formed in 2004.
Pursuant to an order of the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) was continued as The College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) on November 23, 2021. https://www.college-ic.ca/licensee-obligations/registration-information Mary again met all the requirements of ICCRC and CICC throughout these years.
