自助移民和用中介的标志

原创：www.a-gan.com，编辑日期：2004-07-30

假如你找中介（移民公司、代理等）办理移民申请手续，那么你要签署一份代理声明，也就是IMM5476B表，这是移民用中介的标志，这个声明连同其他申请资料一起递交到移民局，移民局以后将直接和你的代理联系你的移民事务，所有的信件等也将寄到代理，由代理和你联系。

如果你没有签署这个声明，不管办移民的方式是什么样的，都叫自助移民，移民局所有的信件、传真、邮件等直接寄发到你提供的地址。

关于中介（代理）的类型还有划分，大多数申请人都是找付费代理，加拿大对这类代理有一定的要求。

下面是使用代理的官方说明：

USE OF A REPRESENTATIVE (IMM 5476B)

You may prepare and prepare your application yourself, or by an individual who provides such services for free (family members, friends, non-governmental and religious organizations, etc.), or you may decide to hire an authorized representative to do so. An authorized representative must be: an immigration consultant who is a member of the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants, a lawyer who is a member of a Canadian Law Society, or a notary who is a member of the Chambre des notaries du Québec.

All applications are treated equally, regardless of whom it is submitted by. Anyone can apply on his or her own without the assistance of a third party. Paying a third party to help you does not mean your application will be approved or that it will receive a preferential treatment. All application materials are provided by the Embassy free of charge.

You MUST complete this form if you
- have paid an authorized representative to assist in the preparation of this application and immigration matters and/or
- you wish us to release information regarding your application to someone other than yourself. Be advised that, if and for as long as you have designated a person to represent you, we will communicate only with that person. Canadian Privacy laws prevent the release of information about your application unless written authorization is received. Information will only be release to Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Please provide proof of your representative’s status in Canada.

Some persons have been victims of unscrupulous agents. Applicants should therefore be careful to investigate the reputation and qualifications of third parties who offer their services for a fee.

The Embassy cannot endorse any immigration consultant, agent or law firm nor comment on its
legitimacy.
