Document background
The Representative Form IRCC is a mandatory document required whenever an individual wishes to appoint a representative to conduct business with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on their behalf. This form is essential in the Canadian immigration system and must be completed whether the representative is paid (such as a lawyer or immigration consultant) or unpaid (such as a family member or friend). The form serves multiple purposes: it confirms the representative's authority to act, ensures compliance with Canadian immigration laws, protects the applicant's interests, and maintains transparency in communications with IRCC. It includes comprehensive details about both parties, specific authorizations granted, and necessary declarations to prevent unauthorized representation or fraud.
