Representatives
Ask a family member or friend for help

Check if your representative is authorized in Canada

Add, change or remove a representative
Follow the steps to add, change or remove a representative from your application.
Immigration fraud
Unauthorized representatives
If you give an immigration agent (consultant, lawyer or Quebec notary) money for their services, they’re considered a paid representative and must be authorized.
Document fraud and misrepresentation
It’s illegal to provide false information on your application, even if an immigration agent tells you to do so.
How to report fraud
Get help if you’ve been the victim of fraud or a scam, and report it to the authorities.
Feature
Protect yourself against fraud
Is a representative telling you they can guarantee your visa will be approved, or that they can fast-track it? No one can guarantee you a visa: protect yourself from fraud.
