Phil Mooney & ICCRC: His Agenda Exposed

Phil Mooney has spent the past few years engaged in a campaign of undermining CSIC in his own self-interest. Here are some of the exhibits demonstrating Mooney's campaign to get rid of John Ryan and influence peddle his way into becoming the President/CEO of the proposed new regulator ICCRC:

1. He complains about the relationship between CSIC, the regulator and CMI, the professional association. Why? CAPIC, Mooney's trade association, lost it's Continuing Professional Development status because they allowed ghost consultants as members of CAPIC. As revenge, he destroyed CSIC through a campaign of misinformation. Now ICCRC, his proposed new regulator, is in fact CAPIC, the trade association; they are the same body! There is no regulator, only the trade association acting as both CAPIC and ICCRC! He has successfully deregulated immigration consultants!

2. He complains that CSIC's Complaints and Discipline process is political. Why? Jeffrey Hemlin was prevented from running for a position on CSIC's board because he had a complaint. We now know the complaint was so serious that Hemlin got revoked by CSIC's independent discipline council. Now ICCRC will not honour any disciplinary action taken by CSIC, as Hemlin claims CSIC has no authority to discipline members. ICCRC has the same authority. Quite convenient, wouldn't you say?

3. He complains that CSIC has no right to publicize the diaciplinary decision against Hemlin. Why? Mooney protects immigration consultants. He does not accept that CSIC must protect the public interest; the ICCRC will protect immigration consultants, not the Canadian public from the misconduct of immigration consultants.

4. He complains that CSIC should drop it's judicial review application and wind down, handing over all their assets to him, the ICCRC. CSIC's application raises the allegation that Mooney has attained the position of President/CEO of the proposed new regulator through influence peddling. Also, the application accuses CAPIC of accepting ghost consultants and of endorsing the activities of Hemlin, who submitted a false declaration, engaged in a conflict of interest and signed and sold blank Use of Representative forms to a Chinese ghost consultant. Of course Mooney wants CSIC to shut down and hand over the money before these allegations go to Federal court!

5. He complains about Nigel Thompson, Chair of CSIC, who is the subject of accusations by lawyer Cecil Rotenberg. Conveniently, the allegations were raised right before CSIC submitted it's application to be selected as the regulator in December 2010. Yet when his buddy Hemlin gets revoked by CSIC's independent discipline council he jumps to Hemlin's defense. Why does he accept the accusations of Cecil Rotenberg, while rejecting the decision of an independent discipline tribunal that Hemlin must be revoked for serous professional misconduct?

Phil Mooney was President of CAPIC, the immigration consultants' trade association. He stepped down as he knew he was going to be chosen as the new regulator. he had prior knowledge because he influence peddled his way into that position through Les Linklater at CIC, and directly into Jason Kenney's decision to select ICCRC. Mooney was replaced by Jeffrey Hemlin. Mooney and Hemlin are the future of immigration consulting under ICCRC, thanks to Jason Kenney.

Kenney, your name is all over this fiasco. Remember, from March 18, 2011 Mooney and Hemlin have been acting with your endorsement. Do you support the crooked consultants at ICCRC, or the Canadian public interest?
