[excerpt]
A couple days ago a friend and I were having a drink. He is in the process of helping his aunt apply for a visitor visa. He wanted to know whether he had to complete the IMM5476-Use of Rep form, and whether he had to register with the ICCRC (the regulatory body that is replacing CSIC) even if he was not being paid.

The following, however, does constitute providing advice or representation:
* Explaining and providing advice on someone’s immigration options;
* Providing guidance to a client on how to select the best immigration stream and how to complete the appropriate forms;
* Communicating with Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency, and the Immigration and Refugee Board on someone’s behalf;
* Representing someone in an immigration application or proceeding;
* Representing someone in an Arranged Employment Opinion or Labour Market Opinion application; and
* Advertising that they can provide immigration advice.
Judging from what my friend was telling me, he had to complete an IMM5476.
