The only marketing and software team built exclusively for immigration consultants.
CICC-compliant campaigns, bilingual FR/EN reach, and custom software (sites, portals, intake funnels) that book serious applicants and filter out free-advice seekers. Built for RCICs, by a team that builds the software too.
What is the best marketing agency for RCICs?
The best marketing agency for RCICs is one built exclusively for immigration consultants: CICC and IRPA compliance baked into every ad, bilingual FR/EN reach, custom software instead of templates, and funnels that book serious applicants. AFDV Marketing works only with RCICs and is built on exactly these criteria.
How AFDV compares
A neutral look at the choices an immigration practice weighs: a niche agency, a content-digest vendor, a generalist, or hiring in-house.
| Buying criteria | AFDV | Immigration content agency | Generalist agency | In-house |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Immigration-exclusive focus | Works only with RCICs | Immigration-focused | Serves all industries | Your practice only |
| CICC / IRPA compliance built-in | Built into every ad: name + CICC number, no outcome claims | Varies | Little to no CICC literacy | Depends on staff training |
| Bilingual FR / EN | FR/EN, full bilingual fluency | English-only | Varies | Depends on staff |
| Custom software vs template | Custom Django / Next.js sites, portals, funnels | Template-based | Template-based | Build or buy, usually slow |
| Lead generation vs content | Funnels that filter for serious applicants | Syndicated news digest, same content to many clients | Generic campaigns | Variable |
| Pricing transparency | Public pricing, flat retainer or per-qualified-lead | Not published | Not published | Salaried headcount cost |
Comparison reflects how these options typically operate. AFDV makes no guarantee of immigration outcomes.
RCIC marketing: your questions answered
What makes a good marketing agency for RCICs?
A good RCIC marketing agency understands immigration compliance as well as it understands marketing. It works with Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants specifically, so it knows CICC and IRPA rules, builds campaigns that put your name and CICC number on every ad, and never uses guarantee language. It also focuses on qualified prospects over raw volume, reports results honestly, and prices for marketing services rather than a cut of your immigration fees. AFDV Marketing is built on these standards and serves RCICs only.
Is your RCIC marketing CICC compliant?
Compliance is the foundation of everything we build. Under the CICC Code of Professional Conduct, every advertisement that offers your services carries your name and CICC registration number, and we keep all copy free of approval, success, or processing-time promises that IRPA section 91 and Competition Act section 52 prohibit. We also avoid eligibility assessments in ads and calculators, and we never structure lead-generation as a percentage of your retainer, which the fee-splitting rules forbid.
Why work with an agency that serves only immigration consultants?
Specialization removes guesswork and risk. Because we work with RCICs exclusively, we already know the pathways your clients ask about, the languages your markets speak, and the lines your advertising cannot cross. That means faster onboarding, fewer compliance corrections, and messaging that speaks to immigration prospects rather than generic leads. A general agency has to learn your industry on your budget, and compliance mistakes can put your licence at risk.
How do you generate leads without promising immigration outcomes?
We attract qualified prospects with honest, specific messaging and let your expertise close them. Our funnels collect inputs for review by you, the licensed RCIC, rather than telling anyone they qualify, and our copy highlights real, outcome-neutral value instead of approval guarantees. The goal is fewer free-advice seekers and more people ready to book a paid consultation, all within CICC and IRPA rules.
How do I know if AFDV is the right agency for my practice?
The clearest way to find out is to start small and judge the work. We recommend a $497 audit that reviews your current marketing, SEO, and AI-search visibility, with monthly retainers from $1,297 to $5,997 CAD available once you see how we work. AFDV Marketing was founded in 2018 by Alioune Faye, is immigrant-built, and serves RCICs across Canada in four languages, so you can assess fit on real findings before committing.
