This article from the Montreal Gazette is a joke. The consultant organizations are part of the problem, and I find it laughable that, suddenly, they present themselves as innocent parties with no financial interest in the outcome of the debate. The only solution is to shut down all organizations, allowing the Provincial Law Societies to take over regulation, same as they already do for paralegals in other areas of law. That already works well in Ontario, where paralegals in various legal areas have limited roles and are strictly licensed and regulated. Unfortunately, Law Societies have expressed no interest in participating in immigration consultant regulation, given that the area appears to be fraught with serious problems. We have had 25 years of inaction and bad policy, the victims overseas and in Canada pile up, and society pays a heavy price. The time for talks, hearings and cosmetic changes has passed.
