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.

Applications to CIC submitted by other representatives who charge a fee will not be processed and will be returned to the applicant.
