Searching for Canada immigration agents in Auckland? ProVisas is a licensed NZ adviser. We refer you to a licensed Canadian RCIC and handle the NZ side of your move.
Written by the ProVisas Editorial Team. ProVisas is a licensed New Zealand immigration advisory firm (IAA Licence 201301110).
People searching for “Canada immigration agents in Auckland” or “Canada immigration consultants in New Zealand” are usually weighing up a move to Canada and want help from someone qualified. ProVisas is a licensed New Zealand immigration adviser, so we are honest about what we can and cannot do here: we advise on New Zealand immigration, and for Canada we connect you with a licensed Canadian professional rather than advising on Canadian law ourselves.
If you are searching for Canada immigration agents in Auckland, it helps to know how the licensing works. ProVisas is an Auckland-based licensed New Zealand immigration adviser. We do not advise on Canadian immigration ourselves; instead we connect you with a licensed Canadian professional and handle the New Zealand side of your move.
Our authority comes from a New Zealand licence. ProVisas operates under IAA Licence 201301110, issued by the Immigration Advisers Authority of New Zealand, which authorises advice on New Zealand immigration matters. It does not authorise advice on Canadian immigration. Giving Canadian immigration advice without the right Canadian authorisation would be both outside our licence and, in many cases, an offence under Canadian law.
That is not a limitation we try to hide. It is the same standard we would want any adviser to hold themselves to: stay inside the scope you are licensed for, and refer out when a matter sits elsewhere.
In Canada, only certain people are authorised to give immigration advice or represent you for a fee. The main categories are:
You can check whether a consultant is genuinely licensed by searching the CICC public register at college-ic.ca. Be cautious of unlicensed “ghost consultants”: using one carries real risk, because an application linked to an unauthorised representative can be refused or returned, and you have no professional body to complain to if something goes wrong.
If your plan is to move from New Zealand to Canada, we can refer you to a licensed Canadian immigration professional so your Canadian application is handled by someone authorised under Canadian law. The Canadian consultant manages the Canada-side strategy and lodgement; we focus on any New Zealand-side matters, such as the timing of leaving New Zealand, keeping a New Zealand visa or residence status active while you are away, or a future return.
Practical next step: contact us at contact@provisas.co.nz and tell us your situation and where you are in your planning. We will point you to a licensed Canadian consultant and stay involved on the New Zealand side where that is useful. To talk it through, book a consultation or check your New Zealand eligibility.
Not directly. ProVisas is licensed for New Zealand immigration advice only, under IAA Licence 201301110. For a move to Canada we refer you to a licensed Canadian immigration professional, and we can assist with any New Zealand-side aspects of your plans.
In Canada, paid immigration advice or representation must come from a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), a Canadian lawyer in good standing with a provincial or territorial law society, or a Quebec notary. You can verify a consultant on the CICC public register at college-ic.ca.
A licensed RCIC or lawyer is accountable to a regulator, carries professional obligations, and can lawfully represent you. An unlicensed “ghost consultant” cannot, and an application connected to an unauthorised representative can be refused or returned. Using a licensed professional protects both your application and your money.
That depends on your New Zealand visa conditions and how long you spend offshore. This is exactly the New Zealand-side question we can advise on while your Canadian consultant handles the Canada application. Talk to us before you make travel commitments.
