Do I need an agent to apply for NIC?

We work with verified recruitment partners (agents) throughout the world to help future international students with their applications. Our agents are trained to answer any questions you might have about NIC.Only students applying from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and the Philippines are required to work with an authorized agent.

If you're already living in Canada and have a valid study permit, you're not required to work with an agent.
