Canada2036 MDC Canada Review

A well-organized website is the first sign of a professional company and in this regard, MDC Canada does a great job. Right the first minutes spent on the website we could tell that information is accessible, well-structured, and presented with ease of use in mind.

The website as a whole is up to date and meets modern visual standards, but of course, a good website is not everything and perhaps the more important thing is the team, especially the Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) they employ.

MDC Canada Fees

We observed the website and could not find clear information about how much MDC Canada charge for their services.

It is most likely that they provide their clients with this information later on, when they already start discussing potential clients’ particular cases.

There is nothing wrong about it, but if you are going through the initial research of RCICs, then maybe it would be easier to have an idea about what numbers you will be dealing with if you choose MDC Canada.

As an alternative to searching for more information about their fees, you may have a look at some cost-effective solutions in our recommended consultants section.

RCIC Licenses at MDC Canada

According to the Canadian Federal law, consultants who provide Canadian immigration services guidance in exchange for a fee must be accredited as a RCIC. An RCIC has to be registered with the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) and can represent clients before the Canadian government in matters related to living, working or studying in Canada. 

Considering all of the above, it’s very important for an immigration consultancy to offer clear details about their RCICs but unfortunately, this information is sometimes “forgotten” by some companies. This is definitely not the case with MDC Canada!

MDC website

The names and consultant identification numbers of their RCICs are clearly shown on the website: David Allon (RCIC #R513335), Ying Liu, (RCIC #R521924), and Jaehyun (Jimmy) Park (RCIC #R510391). We have checked all these names and numbers on the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) website and we can confirm these are all active RCICs, in good standing with the ICCRC.

On top of a well-built website and a high level of transparency, MDC Canada offers assistance for a very wide range of immigration programs and visas, including the Express Entry System, tourist visas, study visas, as well as family sponsorship, IELTS preparation courses and more. As mentioned before, they employ a multicultural team, which means they can assist clients in their native language.

Among the supported languages, MDC Canada lists English, French, Korean, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. It’s true that clients will have to be proficient in English or French in order to receive a visa or permanent residency, but the process is usually a long one and it’s possible that in the beginning, their English and/or French skills are not as polished and that’s when having support in different languages comes in handy.

Online MDC Canada Reviews

MDC Canada has almost 15K followers on Facebook and over 13K likes, so it’s safe to say they are popular and have an active social profile. Their Instagram has almost 4K followers but their Twitter profile only has 140 followers. Overall, this is not the biggest following we’ve seen, but it’s definitely a respectable one.

Some of online customer reviews are positive, with people thanking MDC for their professional help. However, the company has only 3.5 stars based on 172 Google reviews.

We found several negative reviews blaming company for being to for being to sales-driven and unprofessional. We must say though that those reviews stand next to right the opposite – positive reviews of happy customers.

All in all, their reviews’ profile looks controversial.

Editor’s Note: The Bottom Line

Overall MDC Canada looks and feels like a professional immigration consultancy. Their experience spans over 10 years, the information about their RCICs is displayed on the website, as it should.

If you are looking for a company that can assist you throughout the process, MDC Canada could be a relatively good choice.

However, it is likely that negative reviews did not appear from nowhere, so before signing into anything make sure you have all the required information and guarantees.
