Canada is experiencing an immigration boom. We are attracting hundreds of thousands of immigrants every year and expect the trend to continue well into the future.
This boom has generated very strong demand for skilled immigration professionals. These are the experts who help applicants secure visas to study, work, and settle in Canada.
The industry includes immigration lawyers, immigration consultants, and immigration case managers. Each has a different role to play in assisting clients, and each has different training requirements.
Are you considering a career in immigration, but don’t want to become a lawyer? Immigration consultant or immigration case manager are both excellent alternatives.
Which path should you choose?
Your first step is to understand the key differences between these roles. Immigration c0onsultants and immigration case managers often work closely together—but these two jobs are totally different.
Here's everything you should know about these two immigration career paths.
At Herzing College, we live by a core set of values that informs our culture.
We believe that true professionals show up on time, use appropriate language, treat everyone with respect, and take responsibility for their actions. They actively contribute to discussions and projects, and always display a positive attitude.
The PRICE model embodies those values. PRICE stands for Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Caring, and Engagement. Herzing students and staff are expected to exhibit these qualities in all of their dealings with others.
To learn more about how the PRICE model is incorporated at Herzing, check out the following interview with National Director of Academics Robin Day.
