Can I become a CSIC member from outside of Canada?

[A1meem]

Dear Friends,

I have seen on CSIC website few CSIC members practicing from India. I assume they are all PR/Citizen of Canada and have established their own offices in India. I am working for a consultant (an authorised agent of few CSIC members) since 3 years and have gained good knowledge of almost all types of immigration processes for Canada. Can anyone tell me whether I can take exam for Immigration consultant and become a registered CSIC member and practice from India itself or I have to be in Canada as PR to take such exam?

Since I am also going to apply for PR for Canada and my goal is to become a CSIC member, can I get admission into any college offering Immigration study and take online exam from here only and by the time I land into Canada, I could start practicing immediately.

Please provide me detailed guidance/information in this regards.

Thanks
