As per the amendments to the Immigration Regulations introduced on April 13, 2004, the Government of Canada will only recognize an immigration representative who is a member of a Canadian self-regulating association. A paid representative must be authorized by appropriate regulating body in order to conduct business on behalf of clients when dealing with the Government of Canada in immigration and refugee matters.
Authorized paid representatives may be only:
- immigration consultants who are members in good standing of the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC);
- lawyers who are members in good standing of a Canadian law society and students-at-law under their supervision; and
- notaries who are members in good standing of the Chambre des notaires du Québec and students-at-law under their supervision.
