Navisa Relay vs MyConsultant.ca
A public directory and a consented handoff — different tools for different moments
MyConsultant.ca is CAPIC’s own public directory and settlement-education resource: browse licensed consultants by location, language and specialty, with a CICC ID shown on every profile. It is a genuinely useful, broad discovery surface, and many of the same licensed professionals who list there are also reachable through Navisa Relay.
Relay solves a narrower, later problem: once an applicant has already organized their case in Navisa Prep, how does that specific file reach a specific professional without either side losing control? An applicant shares only a name and case summary at first; a professional reviews it against their own filters and decides whether to accept. Only on acceptance does the complete organized file transfer, with nothing re-typed and no commission on either side. Both serve real, different moments in the same journey.
How they differ
The MyConsultant.ca column is drawn from CAPIC’s publicly available pages, confirmed live as of 2026-07-26; where those pages do not state a fact, this table says so rather than guessing.
| Dimension | MyConsultant.ca | Navisa Relay |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A public directory and educational resource operated by CAPIC (the Canadian Association of Professional Immigration Consultants), listing member consultants with their name, CICC ID, location, languages and some specialties, alongside settlement education and forum content. | A consented handoff mechanism inside the Navisa platform: an applicant who has organized their case in Navisa Prep shares a name and case summary with a specific professional, who reviews it against their own filters and decides whether to accept. |
| How a match happens | Discovery-first: anyone can browse the full public directory and contact a listed consultant directly. | Consent-first, two-sided: nothing beyond a name and case summary is visible until a professional explicitly accepts. Only on acceptance does the full organized file transfer. |
| License verification | Lists each consultant’s CICC ID directly on their profile, confirmed live as of 2026-07-26. | Shows each professional’s license as declared, with a direct link to the official CICC register or law society directory, so it is independently checkable in seconds — the same underlying license system MyConsultant profiles reference. |
| Fees | Not publicly stated as of 2026-07-26 — no applicant introduction fee or consultant-listing price was found on CAPIC’s public pages. | Published: no commission on either side for the introduction. A firm that accepts a file is billed only at Navisa’s standard per-case rate, same as any other case on the platform. |
| Document handling before a match | Not publicly stated as of 2026-07-26 — the public pages demonstrate directory browsing and contact, not a documented pre-match document-handling model. | The applicant’s documents and entered facts stay in their own Navisa Prep workspace until a professional accepts; only then does the complete file transfer, with nothing re-typed. |
Who each is for
MyConsultant.ca
Best for someone who wants to browse a broad, public directory of CAPIC member consultants by location, language or specialty, and reach out directly — or a consultant who wants public visibility through a professional-association listing.
Navisa Relay
Best for a Navisa Prep applicant who has already organized their case and wants it to reach one professional intact, with control over what is shared and when — or a professional who wants organized, consented case requests without an introduction commission or an approval queue to join.
