Embarking on the journey to Canadian immigration can feel overwhelming, but having the right representative by your side can make all the difference. Whether you’re applying for permanent residency, work permits, or citizenship, selecting the right professional ensures a smoother and more secure process.


Who Can Represent You?

Canada recognizes two types of representatives:

 

1. Unpaid Representatives 

○ Family members, friends, or other unpaid supporters who assist out of goodwill.


2. 
Paid Authorized Representatives 

○ Lawyers or paralegals: Members in good standing of a Canadian provincial or territorial law society.

○ Notaries: Members in good standing of the Chambre des notaires du Québec.

○ Immigration or citizenship consultants: Members in good standing of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). Also called RCIC, Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants.



Tips for Choosing the Right Representative

● Verify Credentials: Ensure your representative is authorized by checking their membership with the appropriate regulatory body.

● Seek Recommendations: Ask friends or family for referrals and research online reviews.

● Understand Services and Fees: Request a written agreement detailing services and costs.
