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 is the best marketing agency for immigration consultants?
The best marketing agency for immigration consultants is one that works only with RCICs, understands CICC and IRPA rules, and builds compliant campaigns. That means the consultant's name and CICC number on every ad, no outcome guarantees, and lead funnels that filter free-advice seekers. AFDV Marketing is built exclusively for immigration consultants on these standards.
Is RCIC marketing CICC compliant?
It must be. Under the CICC Code of Professional Conduct, every advertisement carries the consultant's name and CICC number. IRPA section 91 and Competition Act section 52 forbid promising visa or PR outcomes. AFDV builds these rules into every campaign and uses flat retainer or per-qualified-lead pricing, never a percentage of immigration fees, which the fee-splitting ban prohibits.
How much does RCIC marketing cost?
AFDV publishes its pricing. Three plans: Foundation at $1,297 per month, Growth at $2,497 per month, and Accelerator at $5,997 per month, all in CAD plus applicable taxes. Pricing is a flat retainer or per-qualified-lead, never a percentage of your immigration fees. A separate intel product, RCIC Brief, covers weekly IRCC policy updates at $39 per month or $349 per year.
AFDV versus a generalist agency?
A generalist agency markets restaurants, dentists, and ecommerce, then applies the same playbook to your practice with no immigration or CICC literacy. That is a compliance risk. AFDV works only with RCICs, so CICC disclosure, IRPA outcome rules, and fee-splitting limits are built in from the first draft, not learned on your account.
Why does bilingual matter for immigration marketing?
Many applicants and prospects are more comfortable in French than English. Campaigns in one language miss them. AFDV builds and runs marketing in both French and English, so your practice reaches clients an English-only agency cannot, and speaks to them in the language they trust.
Do you guarantee PR or visa outcomes?
No, and any agency that does is putting your licence at risk. IRPA section 91 and Competition Act section 52 prohibit promising immigration results. AFDV markets your expertise, process, and credentials, never an outcome. Honest, compliant messaging protects your CICC standing and builds the trust serious applicants actually look for.
Do you build real websites or just run ads?
Both, and the website is real software. AFDV builds in Django and Next.js: marketing sites, secure client portals, and intake funnels, not templates. Because the same team builds the software and runs the marketing, your funnel, portal, and campaigns are one connected system rather than disconnected tools.
How do you stop wasting consults on free-advice seekers?
AFDV designs anti-tire-kicker funnels. Intake forms and qualifying steps filter casual free-advice seekers before they reach your calendar, so booked consultations are with serious applicants who are ready to engage. Your time goes to prospects who convert, which is the most common gap we hear about from RCICs.
