An immigration company in Iraq with a licensed Canadian representative
People searching for an immigration company in Iraq often need to know who will actually assess and handle their Canadian file. The important question is not the marketing label used by a company; it is whether the person giving paid Canadian immigration advice is authorized and whether the licence can be verified.
Sifton Canada identifies the responsible professional, licence number, Erbil office and contact information on the website. Before retaining any representative, check the public regulator register, read the service agreement and confirm what work and fees are included.
Looking for an immigration lawyer in Iraq?
A licensed Canadian immigration consultant and a Canadian immigration lawyer can both be authorized representatives for many IRCC matters, but they are different professions. An RCIC can assess and prepare many visa, permit, permanent-residence and sponsorship applications. A lawyer may be required for court proceedings or legal work outside an RCIC’s scope.
Sifton does not describe its RCIC as a lawyer. Read the lawyer or consultant comparison to understand which professional your situation may require.

Consultations may cover visitor visas, study permits, work permits, Express Entry, family sponsorship, refusals and other Canadian immigration questions.
