Module 1 Knowledge Check 1. You have an immigration practice in Prince George in which you largely serve the Philippine community. Your friend from the community association, Flora Negano, is very active in the community, always trying to help immigrants from the Philippines and their relatives wanting to come here. At a Christmas party, your assistant told her Flora's own cousin Imee Negano had inquired about possible immigration. Flora is thrilled and calls you the next day to see if it is true and how she can help. The ethical issues are: a) A breach of confidentiality by staff b) None, as you yourself did not breach confidentiality c) None, because Imee is not yet a client d) A breach of confidentiality and possible failure to train staff properly . Correct. Section 38 requires you to ensure staff are aware of the Code requirements including confidentiality and do not violate its provisions. 2. "Conduct unbecoming" is conduct by an immigration consultant that is considered so inappropriate that it is likely to tarnish the reputation of the profession as a whole and undermine public trust in consultants generally. It may occur in the professional or personal life of an RCIC, or cross over into both. It may or may not involve any particular client directly. An example of conduct unbecoming would be: a) missing a deadline on a client's file b) assisting a relative in a fraudulent passport scheme c) failing to complete the required continuing education courses d) wrong advice Correct. Such dishonest and illegal conduct can bring disrepute to all immigration consultants and jeopardize public confidence in the profession generally. See s.4(2) of the Code. Note, this does not necessarily impact any clients of the RCIC. 3. Ethical practice includes: a) being courteous and civil to other RCICs, officers and the regulator b) meeting most deadlines on client files c) operating your business according to what you think is right d) taking a free case for a sick colleague on a matter outside your competency Correct. The duty of civility in your work implies this – see s 7. 4. The precise name of the code of ethics which currently governs the conduct of RCICs as members of the College is the: a) Code of Professional Conduct for College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Licencees b) Code of Professional Conduct for College of Citizenship and Immigration Consultants Licensees

c) Code of Professional Conduct for College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Licensees d) Code of Professional Conduct for College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultant Licensees See: https://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2022/2022-06-22/html/sor-dors128- eng.html 5. Proper citation of the Code includes the full title, followed by a comma, a space and 'SOR/2022-128'. The latter phrase means: a) Statutes or Regulations, the year and volume in the Canada Gazette b) Statutory Orders and Regulations, the year and sequence filed c) Statutory Orders and Regulations, the year and page in the Canada Gazette d) Standing Orders and Regulations, the year and page in the Canada Gazette http://web5.uottawa.ca/www2/rl-lr/eng/legal-citations/1_13-fed_regulations.html 6 Codes of conduct in the legal sector generally will cover such things as: a) Professional misconduct, competence and retainer funds b) Confidentiality, withdrawing from representation and annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements c) Conflicts of interest, errors and omissions and fee scales d) Quality of service, civility and minimum technology requirements Fee scales are not included in a code of conduct. 7 Hyungee is excited to be starting up her immigration consulting business. She will focus on student recruitment from Korea. She cannot believe her good fortune when a famous fashion model in Korea, Kim Hee Jeong, contacts her to ask about a study permit. During the initial consultation, Hyungee determines that Kim is a great candidate to start a fashion design course at Vancouver College. They enter into a service agreement to commence the study permit application. The next week at a conference of education agents, Hyungee runs into other Korean RCICs. "You will not believe who I am representing", she exclaimed – the famous Kim Hee Jeong!" a) You overheard this and correctly determine that: b) This is a breach of confidentiality c) This is not a breach of confidentiality as everyone else at the conference are also professionals and will treat it as confidential d) This is not a breach of confidentiality because no information was disclosed about Kim's application This is not a breach of confidentiality because Kim is already famous and in the public eye
