Need some information from the Senior Members or from someone who have used Form IMM 5475 & IMM 5476

Where should we send the Form IMM 5476 to cancel use of Representative? To Mississauga where the original application was submitted or to Singapore Visa Office where the File is now for review? Will there be any delay for this? If we don't want to cancel the Representative but just want any communication from CIC to come to our e-mail, what should we do?

Also, what is the best use of Form 5475? Seems that this Form needs to be sent to Mississauga, right?

IMM 5476 to cancel needs to goto Visa Officer = Singapore

IMM 5475 = Authority to release personal information to designated individual

Thanks.

Is it necessary to use Form IMM 5475 if I as the Sponsor wanted to communicate or get some information?

Yes, and that's exactly what we did. If you're going to Authorize you (the sponsor), no need to cancel the old one . . . authorizing a "new" representative automatically negates the previous one.

OK. But, it seems, one can use both. I guess Form 5475 authorizes release of information but Form 5476 allows representation.

My question was, when one uses a representative, can the applicant still request communication from CIC to come to the Applicant directly instead of going to the representative? If yes, then how that can be arranged?

Hi guys,
My question is, do we need to fill IMM 5475? I didn't designest anyone before and I still don't need to designate anyone. Is it compulsory to fill this form. I'm so confused about section 3, 5 and 6. Can my spouse be the designated person (she is my dependent applicant).

Please help I only have 2 more days to submit this form!!!
Thanks

Hi,
I am facing similar issues. Got a request to fill IMM 5475 form. Did you fill your spouse as a designated individual?

Hi Varshag,
Yes, I did nominate my spouse as designated individual. I have received RPRF in a week after uploading additional documents.

Need urgent Help. My PR application is pending, submitted online on 14 Aug 2017. I was asked to provide IMM5475. I added details of my brother, got it signed from him, and uploaded the document. But after a few days, I again got a request to upload the same form. Am I doing something wrong. I don't udnerstand?

Hello,

I think form IMM5475E authority to release personal information to a designated individual is not required if a person applying himself without a representative.

Applicant has all rights to access this information which visa officer has mentioned in case of any query.

This is just a read access to your file to someone, he or she is not authorized to communicate with cic.

I think it is only useful when you are seriously injured and not able to fill the form or write to CIC with your hand. :)

Let me know if I am wrong.
