Migration decisions can change a person's life. The professionals who help people understand those decisions have a responsibility to work honestly, communicate clearly and put client protection first.
The International Solidarity Council (ISC) brings migration, immigration, visa and travel consultancy firms into an international professional community. Our mission is to encourage cooperation across borders while supporting responsible practice and transparent professional expectations.
A common purpose across borders
Consultancies operate under different laws and serve clients with different needs. A shared commitment to integrity can help firms learn from one another without overlooking those differences. ISC aims to make professional dialogue, knowledge sharing and responsible referrals easier.
Standards, certification and accountability
Our work is guided by an ambition to strengthen professional standards and develop meaningful approaches to certification. Any future assessment or certification framework must have clear criteria, a defined scope and transparent governance. Membership alone is not a government licence, a guarantee of competence or a promise of an immigration outcome.
Ethics and client protection
- Explain services, fees and limitations before work begins.
- Protect personal information and handle documents responsibly.
- Avoid misleading claims, guaranteed visa outcomes and invented official connections.
- Recognise conflicts of interest and refer matters beyond a firm's lawful competence to appropriately authorised professionals.
- Give clients clear ways to raise concerns.
Building a responsible professional community
We invite firms that share these principles to learn about ISC's mission, constitution and corporate membership process. Cooperation is most valuable when it improves the experience of the people who rely on our industry.
ISC is an independent professional organisation, not an immigration authority. Membership does not replace any licence or authorisation required in a particular jurisdiction.
