What is an immigration consultant?
An immigration consultant is a regulated adviser (CICC in Canada, IAA in the UK, MARA in Australia, or a licensed lawyer) who assesses your eligibility for permanent residence, work or settlement routes, builds the application and represents you with the authority. Vistolane lists only licensed consultants, shows their success rate from cases filed on the platform and quotes a fixed fee per case.

Routes an immigration consultant handles
- Permanent residence: Canada Express Entry and PNPs, Australia subclass 189/190/491, New Zealand Skilled Migrant, UK Indefinite Leave to Remain.
- Sponsored work: UK Skilled Worker and sponsor licences, US H-1B and L-1, Canada LMIA work permits, EU Blue Card, Australia subclass 482.
- Family and settlement: spouse and partner visas, dependants, parents, naturalisation and citizenship by descent.
- Refusals and appeals: reading the refusal letter, judicial review or administrative review, and rebuilding the file.
Licensed means regulated, and that matters
- Only regulated advisers may charge for immigration advice in Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Vistolane checks the register before listing and shows the licence on every profile.
- Unlicensed agents cannot represent you with the authority, cannot be held to a code of conduct and have no complaints route; refusals caused by their errors still sit on your record.
- Partner outcomes are re-verified every quarter and the success rate on the card comes only from cases that closed on the platform.
What an immigration consultant costs
- Fees are quoted per case before work starts, by route: a points-based PR file costs more than a visitor visa because of the documents and the representation involved.
- Government fees, biometrics, medicals, language tests and credential assessments are paid at the official rate.
- You keep one portal for documents, deadlines and messages, so switching consultant later does not mean starting again.

Questions, answered
Who is the best immigration consultant for Canada?
The best consultant for you is a CICC-licensed RCIC with filed Express Entry or PNP cases on your profile, a verified success rate and a fixed fee. Vistolane ranks partners by fit score and shows those three facts on every card.
Do I need an immigration consultant or a lawyer?
For most PR, work and family routes a licensed consultant is sufficient and cheaper. Appeals, judicial review, criminal inadmissibility and complex refusals usually need a lawyer; the directory marks law firms separately.
How much does an immigration consultant charge?
Per case, quoted before work begins. Points-based PR files and sponsored work routes sit at the top of the range; visitor and dependant files at the bottom. Government fees are always extra and paid at cost.
How do I check a consultant's licence?
Search the public register: CICC (Canada), IAA (UK), MARA (Australia), IAA (New Zealand). Vistolane verifies the entry before listing and re-checks it quarterly.
Can an immigration consultant guarantee PR?
No. Points thresholds, draws and officer discretion decide the outcome. Vistolane guarantees the filing date and refunds its own fee if the file misses it; the decision belongs to the authority.
What happens if my application is refused?
Your consultant reads the refusal letter with you inside the portal, decides between appeal, review or a rebuilt file, and the case record carries over so nothing is re-collected.
