Immigration Consultant Exam
An independent study app for candidates preparing for the RCIC Entry-to-Practice Exam — written from the primary law, built to the published blueprint, and honest about what is not published.

Built to the published blueprint
The exam has 135 multiple-choice questions in three hours: 125 are scored and 10 are unscored pilot questions. The College's Candidate Guide publishes each competency unit's share of the scored questions, and on a 125-question paper every share is a whole number. A full mock paper is sampled to exactly those counts, with 10 unscored pilot questions placed at random.
| Unit | Share | Of 125 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Foundational Knowledge | 17.6% | 22 |
| 2 Case Management | 19.2% | 24 |
| 3 Legal Research and Informatics | 8.8% | 11 |
| 4 Business Management and Leadership | 12.8% | 16 |
| 5 IRB and Administrative Tribunals | 8.8% | 11 |
| 6 Professionalism | 8.8% | 11 |
| 7 Cultural Competence | 6.4% | 8 |
| 8 Communication, Counselling and Advocacy | 11.2% | 14 |
| 9 Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Evidence-Based Practice | 6.4% | 8 |
Inside each unit the app groups the competencies into 43 study areas. That finer split, and its weights, are the app's own — the Candidate Guide publishes the units only.
A target, not a pass mark
The College sets the pass mark for each sitting and does not publish it, so this app never pretends to know it. You see a projected score out of 125 and set your own target (75% by default); every mock paper tells you how far above or below your target you landed, unit by unit.
In the app
- 1,377 original questions across the 43 study areas, each with an explanation and a pinpoint reference to the Act, regulation, rule, guideline or case it turns on.
- Case sets — a short client situation with three to five questions on the same facts, as on the real exam.
- Full and half mock papers — 135 questions in three hours, or 68 in ninety minutes — with flag-for-review and a question grid.
- Practitioner drills, generated fresh each time with worked answers: the permanent-resident residency obligation, citizenship physical presence, IRB and Federal Court deadlines, and sponsorship undertaking periods.
- A generated client travel file with questions worked from it.
- A Library of study-area and quick-reference cards.
- Smart Review brings back the questions you miss until they stick.
- Your progress on every device: answers, review dates and mock paper results meet on your iPhone, iPad and Mac via your personal iCloud. Studying needs no connection, and there is nothing to sign up for.
Try it before you pay
The first 50 questions are free in any mode, together with one mock paper (full or half) and the whole Library. If the app suits you, one Full Access purchase opens the rest: all 1,377 questions, as many mock papers as you like and every drill. You pay once, with no subscription, and the purchase covers your iPhone, iPad and Mac on the same Apple Account.
Sources behind every question
Every question is built from the primary law, read rather than recalled: the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations, the Citizenship Act and Regulations, the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Act and Regulations, the Code of Professional Conduct, the rules of the four Immigration and Refugee Board divisions and the Chairperson's Guidelines, the Federal Courts rules and the leading cases — plus the Candidate Guide and the Essential Competencies the College publishes for candidates. The law is as of September 2026, for the October 2026 and March 2027 sittings. No exam questions or commercial prep material were used.
Exam practice, not advice. Every question is about a fictional client. Immigration law and policy change often: always confirm current law and requirements with official sources.
