3. Do not accept bad advice or false promises

Do not accept help from someone who:

  • 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 or something that you do not understand
  • does not offer to translate anything you sign if you cannot understand it
  • does not explain what they're doing or does not answer your questions
  • does not give you 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 representative sends to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on your behalf. And if there are any mistakes, inconsistencies, or if there's information missing, your claim might not be accepted.

If someone promises you that your application will be successful, do not accept their help. No one can guarantee an outcome for your case.
