Immigration Representatives

In accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, CIC only recognizes representatives who are members of

  1. a Canadian provincial or territorial law society,
  2. the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC) or
  3. the Chambre des notaires du Québec.

No other representative may charge a fee in relation to an application or proceeding, be it inland or overseas, before the Minister or an officer, or before the Immigration Refugee Board.
