Created in fall of 2003, the Society is responsible for regulating the activities of immigration consultants who are members and who provide immigration advice for a fee.

The Society grants memberships to only those individuals who have demonstrated their knowledge and ability to advise, consult and represent people who wish to seek Canadian immigration, have passed the Society's Knowledge and Ethics Test and have demonstrated their good character.

Mr. Patrick Abikzer, President of Sedav, is a member of the CSIC.

The Government of Canada will not work or accept to process the immigration files presented by consultants which are not members of the CSIC.
