The IRB Specialization Exam is designed for Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) who wish to represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB). As of July 1, 2023, only RCICs holding an RCIC-IRB class of licence are authorized to practice before the IRB. To obtain this licence, RCICs must complete the Specialization Program, which includes passing the Specialization Exam. 

This exam assesses consultants on their knowledge, skills, and judgment to ensure they can practice safely and ethically before the IRB in the public interest. 

Therefore, the intended audience for this course comprises RCICs aiming to obtain the RCIC-IRB class of licence to represent clients before the IRB.
