RCIQ (MIFI – Quebec) Exam Prep

Prepare for recognition as a Québec immigration consultant through the structured and practice-oriented program by Jurislocator™, designed for Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) who wish to obtain official recognition from the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) in order to legally advise, assist, or represent clients in Québec immigration matters.

Holding a valid license issued by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) is not sufficient to practice as an immigration consultant in Québec. To legally practice within the Québec framework, official recognition from the MIFI is required. Once recognized, consultants have their names added to the Québec Register of Immigration Consultants.

This program is intended to help RCICs understand the main legal, regulatory, and procedural obligations applicable in Québec while effectively preparing for the assessment leading to recognition as a Québec immigration consultant.

The published program includes 9 main units:

1. The Canada–Québec Accord Relating to Immigration and Temporary Admission of Aliens
   Analysis of the bilateral agreement governing the sharing of responsibilities between the federal government and Québec regarding permanent immigration, temporary admission, and selection.
2. Section 95 of the Constitution Act, 1867
