3. Don’t accept bad advice or false promises
Don't accept help from someone who:
- uses a “ghost representative” or tells you that the application will be submitted under your name without the representative's name
- tells you to lie or leave out information on your application
- suggests that you use false documents
- asks you to sign a blank or incomplete form that you're required to submit
- doesn't offer to translate anything you sign
- doesn't explain what they are doing, doesn't answer your questions, or doesn't provide you with copies of your documents and forms
You must sign a declaration that everything in your application is true. So you are responsible for anything your legal representative sends to IRCC on your behalf.
And don't accept help if someone promises you that your application will be successful. No one can guarantee an outcome for your case. Be careful also if they say that they have special contacts within Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or a Canadian embassy.
