A Mini-Series Sharing Advice and Experiences
The College has been experiencing exponential growth in the number of RCICs with currently over 11,300 licensees; up from just about 6700 a couple of years ago, and this number is expected to continue to grow over the next year.
With such a large number of newly licensed RCICs and RISIAs operating in the coming months and years, we thought it would be helpful to share some valuable insights and tips from fellow licensees, for those brand-new to the business and about to launch their consulting practice. Some of this information may also prove beneficial to all licensees, regardless of their experience level.
Recently, the Professional Conduct department reached out to a few RCICs who have been practising for some time to ask about their experience and knowledge. With just a few questions posed, we received an abundance of great insights which will be collated, compiled, and shared in a new series featured in coming issues of the Bulletin “Tips for a Successful RCIC Practice”.
Over the next few months, we will cover a range of topics including the benefits of working with a mentor, the importance of staying abreast of immigration policies and guidelines, the intricacies of keeping client relationships professional, and how to tailor your approach and services to each client and their unique situation.
If you are an RCIC with advice to share, please write to communications@college-ic.ca (with the subject line: Tips for a Successful RCIC Practice) and describe what you wish you would have known as you started in the industry or if there are things you would have done differently.
