Immigration consultants and visa agencies in Vancouver
8 agencies, each checked against its own website on 4 Nov 2026; consultants looked up in the CICC register
Vancouver has 8 immigration consultants and visa agencies on our list; all 8 we looked up in the CICC register have a licensed consultant entitled to practise (checked 1 Nov 2026). All 8 list study permits on their own websites, all 8 work permits and 7 visitor visas. On the official pages we read, VFS Global takes visa applications in Vancouver for France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and 1 more, and BLS International for India; before you pay anyone, read how to choose a visa agency and spot a scam.
Our list, not an endorsement. Listing is free, and nobody can pay for a place in it. Order: most verified first: we count up to six things we could confirm about each agency, a licence in the official register among them, and break ties A–Z. The count shows how much we could verify, not how good an agency is. Online services sit in their own box above the list.

Which immigration consultant is best in Vancouver? How to compare
We don't rank consultants. Only authorized representatives may charge a fee for Canadian immigration or citizenship help: lawyers and paralegals in a provincial or territorial law society, Quebec notaries, and consultants licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) (IRCC, archived copy of 10 Oct 2026). We looked up every agency on this page in the CICC Public Register on 1 Nov 2026: all 8 have a licensed consultant listed under the agency's name, entitled to practise; each listing shows the licence number with a link to its register entry.
- “Entitled to Practise: Yes”Only licensees marked 'Yes' in the register's 'Entitled to Practise' column may legally give immigration advice or services; those marked 'No' cannot (CICC, archived copy of 15 Dec 2025). Search the register by name, College ID (the R number) or company (CICC, read 1 Nov 2026).
- A written contract and a receiptBefore hiring a paid representative, check that they are authorized, get a written contract listing all services and the agreed fee, and get a signed receipt for every payment (IRCC, archived copy of 13 Sept 2026).
- No guaranteesUsing a representative does not draw special attention to an application or guarantee approval; be careful of anything that sounds too good to be true (IRCC, archived copy of 13 Sept 2026). Offers of guaranteed entry into Canada or faster processing are false; don't pay for them (IRCC, archived copy of 31 Jul 2026).
- Keep your originalsDon't leave original documents or photos with a representative and don't sign blank forms or documents you cannot read (IRCC, archived copy of 13 Sept 2026).
- Official fees go to IRCCIRCC never asks for deposits into a personal bank account or transfers through private money transfer companies, and its processing fees are in Canadian dollars and the same worldwide (IRCC, archived copy of 13 Sept 2026).
The register's 'Type' column shows the licence class: L1 and L2 RCICs have the full scope of practice, but only L3 (RCIC-IRB) licensees may represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board (CICC, archived copy of 15 Dec 2025). Complaints about consultants go to the CICC; complaints about lawyers or notaries go to their provincial or territorial law society or the Chambre des notaires du Québec (IRCC, archived copy of 26 Sept 2026).

Official alternatives: when you don't need a consultant
Using a representative is optional, gets no special attention and does not mean approval; all forms and instructions are free on IRCC's website (IRCC, archived copy of 10 Oct 2026). Beware of representatives who advertise free services and later ask for a fee, or who advise you to lie on your application (IRCC, archived copy of 10 Oct 2026). For other countries' visas you apply at their visa centre or consulate; these are the ones in Vancouver we could confirm on official pages.

FAQ
How much does an immigration consultant cost in Vancouver?
Each consultant sets its own fee, and we haven't collected Canadian consultants' prices. Before hiring a paid representative, check that they are authorized, get a written contract listing all services and the agreed fee, and get a signed receipt for every payment (IRCC, archived copy of 13 Sept 2026). IRCC never asks for deposits into a personal bank account or transfers through private money transfer companies, and its processing fees are in Canadian dollars and the same worldwide (IRCC, archived copy of 13 Sept 2026).
Can I get free immigration advice in Vancouver?
Using a representative is optional, gets no special attention and does not mean approval; all forms and instructions are free on IRCC's website (IRCC, archived copy of 10 Oct 2026). Beware of representatives who advertise free services and later ask for a fee, or who advise you to lie on your application (IRCC, archived copy of 10 Oct 2026).
How do I check that an immigration consultant is licensed?
The CICC register can be searched by first name, last name, College ID, company name, country and city (CICC, read 1 Nov 2026). Only licensees marked 'Yes' in the register's 'Entitled to Practise' column may legally give immigration advice or services; those marked 'No' cannot (CICC, archived copy of 15 Dec 2025). If a consultant is not on the CICC register, check IRCC's website to see whether another body (a law society or the Chambre des notaires) authorizes them (CICC, archived copy of 15 Dec 2025). We did this for the immigration agencies on this page on 1 Nov 2026; each listing shows what we found.
What is the difference between a consultant and an immigration lawyer?
Consultants must be CICC members; lawyers and notaries must belong to a provincial or territorial law society or the Chambre des notaires du Québec; paralegals (Ontario only) must belong to the Law Society of Ontario (IRCC, archived copy of 11 Oct 2026). The register's 'Type' column shows the licence class: L1 and L2 RCICs have the full scope of practice, but only L3 (RCIC-IRB) licensees may represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board (CICC, archived copy of 15 Dec 2025).
What is BLS International in Vancouver?
Indian visa, passport, OCI and other consular applications in Canada go to the centres of BLS International Services Canada Inc., authorised by the High Commission in Ottawa and the Consulates in Toronto and Vancouver (High Commission of India, read 1 Nov 2026). In Vancouver it is at Unit B-50, 850 West Hastings St., BC V6C 1E1 (blsindia-canada.com, read 1 Nov 2026).

At the U.S. Consulate General Vancouver, 1075 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2M6, Canada (ais.usvisa-info.com, read 1 Nov 2026): there is no visa centre, the consulate interviews applicants itself. Nonimmigrant visa applicants should book their interview at the US Embassy or a Consulate in their country of residence or nationality (ais.usvisa-info.com, read 1 Nov 2026). Applicants are not let into a consular section without a scheduled appointment (ais.usvisa-info.com, read 1 Nov 2026). In most cases Canadian citizens do not need a US visitor, business or transit visa (ca.usembassy.gov, read 1 Nov 2026).

A Schengen visa decision normally takes 15 days and can be extended to 45 days (European Commission, read 1 Nov 2026).
Which immigration consultants in Vancouver are licensed?
All 8 have a licensed consultant, entitled to practise, in the CICC register, as we found them on 1 Nov 2026: Admire Immigration Services Inc., Ansari Immigration, Anyvisa Services Corp., Batis Immigration Inc., CICS Immigration, Mygration Immigration Inc., Visa Mondial and Visoval Immigration Consulting Inc.. Each listing shows what we found, with a link to the register entry where there is one.
How we checked. We opened each agency's own website on 4 Nov 2026 and took its name, address, phone and the services it lists from there; each profile links to the pages we used. We looked up each immigration consultancy in the CICC Public Register on 1 Nov 2026 by company name, College ID and surname. The register lists individual consultants, so a match means at least one licensed consultant works under the agency's name, not that every adviser there is licensed; where we couldn't confirm one, the listing says “not yet confirmed in the register”. Lawyers and agencies that arrange only visas for trips abroad weren't looked up. We haven't collected Canadian consultants' prices yet. Something wrong? Report a change.
