Sir, Madam,
Thank you for contacting Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request:
Application and forms - Use of a representative or Power of attorney
The purpose of the Privacy Act is to insure the protection of your personal information. The Access to Information Act gives you the right to access that information. You can also allow us to give your personal information to someone of your choice by providing a written authorization.
If you want to authorize someone to act on your behalf, you must send the Use of a Representative (IMM 5476) form or a Power of Attorney.
LINK: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/representative.asp
The authorized person will be able to:
Contact us on your behalf,
Get information on the status of your application, and
Update your information.
A representative can be paid or not. If your representative is paid, they must be:
- An immigration consultant who is a member in good standing of the Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC),
A lawyer who is a member of a Canadian law society or a legal trainee under his supervision, or
A notary of the Chambres des notaires du Québec or a legal trainee under his supervision.
If your representative is not paid, they can be a:
- Friend,
Family member,
Person in a religious or non-governmental organization,
Etc.
You may have one representative only. If you appoint an additional representative, the previous representative will no longer be authorized to conduct business on your behalf and receive information on your file. To authorize a representative, you must send the IMM 5476 form or the Power of Attorney with your application.
If your application was already submitted, use the email form and upload the IMM 5476 or Power of Attorney.

Please allow 5 to 10 business days for the authorization to be added in your file.
