"You don't need to hire a representative!

It's your choice. Using one will not draw special attention to your application and doesn’t mean we’ll approve it.

You can get all the forms and instructions you need to apply for a visa, a permit or citizenship for free... If you follow the instructions, you should be able to fill out the forms and submit them yourself."

"Do I need a representative to help me apply?

No. The Government of Canada treats everyone equally, whether they use a representative or not.

All the forms and information that you need to apply ... to immigrate to Canada are available for free... If you follow the instructions in the application guide, you can complete the application form and submit it on your own."
