Testimonial

"The Immigration Practitioner Certificate program (IPC) at Bow Valley College has enabled me to succeed and reach a new milestone in my legal career. The program prepared me to write the ICCRC Full Skills Exam, which I successfully passed on the first take.

I am thankful for the instructors I had, the flexibility in classes, and the superb organization of both the online and in-class components. The evening classes worked perfectly with my schedule. The program is ideal in length, worth every dollar of your money, and covers the areas of immigration law that are essential to the profession. As a successful graduate, I am thankful for this program and I highly recommend it."
