ACCORDING TO THE 14 LAW SOCIETIES IN CANADA, LAWYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE ASSOCIATED
WITH IMMIGRATION CONSULTANTS OR WORK ON THE SAME CLIENT'S FILE OR RECEIVE SERVICE FEES
UNLESS THE LAWYER HAS SEPARATE AGREEMENT WITH THE CLIENTS.
WOULD YOU ELECT THESE CAPIC & CSIC MEMBERS WHO ARE CAPITALIZING ON HOW TO REGULATE
CONSULTANTS ? AND FOR HOW LONG CAN YOU BE UNDER THEIR REGIME? STOP BEING A SLEEP WALKER
AND WAKE UP.
The consultants who wants to regulate other consultants are in defaults of CIC (IRPR) / CAPIC & CSIC by-laws and
regulations including their own Ethic codes and standard of conducts!
They have a free ride, they're off everybody's radar screen but not CSIP's radar
CSIP IS APPROACHING THE CIC WITH A NEW PROPOSAL TO CHARGE THE PAID CONSULTANTS AND
LAWYERS A BOND at $50000 cad dollars ;
Would the Immigration consultants Pay a $50,000 CAD bond to the Canada immigration and give the
clients proof of the bond / as legitimate practice Approved by CIC only? send your comment to

connection with the CIC visa officers in few countries.

Mexico and the United States. He also served as the Immigration Foreign Service Liaison Officer in Toronto – Canada's largest immigrant
receiving region.End of Quote
Using a testimonial statement written by the CIPC Chairperson ( Charles Pley ) who worked with you in the same association and was board
member with you (AICC) is a cheap shot and undermined the whole webpage of your testimonials

Do you think Mr. Russel Monsurate who created a DACUM for future Immigration Consultants is in default of CSIC regulations ? Is he showing some
influence of using CIC officials and Lawyers positions with his memberships and services?
Ex- immigration officers must not use abuse or use their previous position with the CIC as part of their immigration advertisements, the
clients do ask for immigration service not for Resume unless the motive is clear to influence the international and local clients that he have
internal connection to expedite the application process. This is a misleading action on his part and he is in default of CSIC regulations.
If the majority of CSIC and CAPIC members agreeing with CSIP investigation, then we do suggest that Mr. Monsurate remove this statement from the
home page of his website http://www.russcanada.com/aboutruss.php to avoid any further misleading to the international public.

Charge for legal fees and use title immigration counsel
To: CSIC chairperson
Dear Mr. J. Ryan
I do admit that you are certainly surprises CSIP everyday with new default of your own regulations. We have just noticed that your website page
paypal, provide the public with the payment method of charging your client with LEGAL SERVICES FEES. Because one of your client just sent us a
receipt that you have charged her with legal services fees which she thought that you are a lawyer!
CSIP investigated her complaint after she received confirmation that You are the one who is hosting the seminars not a registered lawyer of any law
society and just read her attachment clear and no mistake about it.
We want to know under which section of the CSIC regulations that an Immigration consultant is allowed to charge legal services fees for immigration
Page 7
Do you recognize these pictures
seminars hosted by yourself as ( Consultant) . Immigration Consultants are somehow confused to follow your step or CSIC regulations steps. At one
point and still to this day, your business cards and your signature use the term " immigration counsel " and now your payment receipts shows that you
do receive payment for " Legal services fees "
Mr. Ryan, please it is a my advice to you and to your clients as of today, is to change CSIC by-law and its regulations in order to fit your business styles
and have all consultants be treated equal. Because you are certainly put yourself out as a lawyer / Counsel no doubt about this. This makes you again
and again in default of your own Regulation which you imposed on CSIC members for the past two years.
We hope by now that you can get the picture that you are as equal as to any Immigration Consultants and you must follow the CSIC Regulations as
well.
Please take notice that we just added this evidence to our complaint with the law Society of upper Canada and in BC and have all the evidence already
sent to them. If you decided to clean your professional act . You can go ahead and do the changes if you feel it is time to follow your own Regulations
so your CSIC members cannot be in default by following your rules. You should be the real model for those consultants, unfortunately, you are lacking
of professionalism and bringing your Society ( CSIC ) into disruptive and shame.
I urge you to read CSIC Regulations since you are in default of every section so far.
Sincerely yours
CSIP Chairperson

Bruce Perrault, National Membership, CAPIC
Practicing immigration as a lawyer without a valid licence, he resigned
from the law society due to investigation against him for mistreat clients
trust funds, However, he wrote the code of Ethics to CAPIC.
There are non-lawyer businessmen on the Internet who pretend or imply that they are attorneys, when in fact they are not.
Other immigration "consultants", "specialists" or "professionals" Ex- Immigration officers, Counsel, CIC Employment
Counsellor , CIC settlement Counsellor claim to be able to do anything a lawyer can do, when in fact this is not true. CIC
regulations clearly prohibit non-lawyer business firms from representing an immigration petitioner or beneficiary in any manner
before the CIC, the embassies, or any other governmental institution. Many provinces have made “immigration consulting
non-lawyers illegal due to the extensive history of deceit or incompetence by such firms. Furthermore, if you hire one of these
non-lawyer firms below and something goes wrong, there is no Bar Association or any other entity to whom you can seek
redress, nor are such firms restrained in their conduct by fear of a Bar Association complaint or malpractice action by their
“clients”. There is an organization called CSIC , but all the mentioned people below are directors or have conflict of interest
with CSIC directors, so your complaints is invalid against those people.
You should always check a consultants or lawyer’s credentials. You can check John Ryan's, Ron McKay's credentials, or
those members who are associated with attorney who do not have valid licence , by calling the Law society , Bar Association
at the province they practice. You can check the credentials of any Canadian attorney. Some Bar Associations even have on
line lookup of attorney credentials. CALL also BBB Better business bureau to check on Consultant, do not call CSIC, they will
never give you the correct information.
Our FREE service as being NGO organization stands by every fact stated in this web site page and our office is open to
anyone who wants to check any fact stated herein .
Know Your Rights!
Anyone offering immigration help must follow certain
laws. These are some of the most important ones:
Any person who says he/she is a lawyer must have
a license from the provincial Bar of any province.
You can ask to see his/her license and write down
the number, and you can call the State Bar where
he/she is licensed to find out if the license is valid.
A person who does immigration papers but is not a
lawyer is called an immigration consultant.
An immigration consultant must obey these laws:
2- Give you a written contract that:
is in your own language
says you can cancel for any reason within 72 hours
that says how much money you have to pay

3.9 An Immigration Consultant should avoid impugning the reputation of colleagues for personal motives; however, subject to the duty of confidentiality, he or she should
report to the appropriate authority any unprofessional, illegal or unethical conduct by colleagues or others. Wherever possible, the Immigration Consultant should request an
explanation from this individual to assist the consultant in determining whether there is any obligation to report this individual’s conduct.
Conduct Unbecoming an Immigration Consultant”
means conduct in an Immigration Consultant’s personal or private capacity that tends to bring discredit upon the profession including, for example:
(b) taking improper advantage of the youth, inexperience, lack of education, lack of sophistication, ill health, or un-businesslike habits of another;
(c) engaging in conduct involving dishonesty; or
(d) failing to abide by a fee dispute resolution either resolved by the Society or a court of competent jurisdiction.
Officer”
means any person or class of person designated as Officers by the Minister to carry out any purpose of any provision of IRPA.
(e) stating or implying an ability to influence improperly a government agency or official; or
PART 11
ADVERTISING, SOLICITATION AND MAKING SERVICES AVAILABLE
11.1 An Immigration Consultant should make professional services available to the public in an efficient and convenient manner that will command respect and instil
confidence, and by means that are compatible with the integrity, independence and effectiveness of the profession.
11.2 An Immigration Consultant or his or her Agent shall not engage in false or misleading advertising or representations. In particular, an Immigration Consultant or his or
her Agent shall not misrepresent or mislead a Client as to his or her qualifications, services, fees, available programs or benefits. In addition, an Immigration Consultant or
his or her Agent shall not provide false or unrealistic expectations as to either results or processing times. Under no circumstances shall an Immigration Consultant or his or
her Agent purport to have special access or influence with respect to the Minister, an Officer, or the Board.
11.3 In all instances, advertising should be in good taste and is not such as to bring the profession or the Society into disrepute.
that says what kind of application the person will
file for you .
2- ask the consultant to guarantee a full refund less
office disbursements
3- Have a big sign in his/her office saying he/she is not
an attorney and show that the bond has been paid.
4-Never pretend to be a lawyer.
5. Never say he/she has special influence with the CIC
officials .
6. Never file any document for you without going over it
with you and explaining it to you.
7. Never keep your original documents and refuse to
return them unless you pay.
8. Never tell you to lie on an application.
Commentary:
Page 12
Do you recognize these pictures
1. Example of “purported special access or influence” includes but is not limited to; pictures with or letters received from employees or officials of
the Canadian Government.
2. Use of the term “guarantee” when describing services or fees is inappropriate, and must be avoided. Wording such as “refund policy” or
reference to contingent fee arrangements, if factual and supported in writing in a retainer agreement or engagement letter, may be
appropriate.
3. An Immigration Consultant has a positive duty to promote the Society and Rules, and to prevent unregulated practice, and is encouraged
where appropriate to educate the public at large regarding the Society and the regulatory system and safeguards with respect to Immigration
Consultants.
4. Former government officials currently acting as Immigration Consultants must take special care to ensure representations regarding their
qualifications and past employment are strictly factual, and must not promote the notion that they may have special access or influence since
any suggestion of special access or influence regarding the immigration process brings the integrity of the immigration process into disrepute.
Furthermore, former immigration officials must abide by and ensure they are in compliance with the Government’s own post-employment rules.
5. An Immigration Consultant shall clearly distinguish his or her own credentials from those of a lawyer licensed to practise law in any province or
territory, and shall not refer to any foreign credential or in any other way make representations that may reasonably lead to a
misapprehension that the Immigration Consultant is a lawyer, provides legal services or has credentials as a lawyer when that is not the case.
