IMM 5476 – Use of a Representative (Canada)

The IMM 5476 – Use of a Representative form allows you to officially appoint an immigration consultant, lawyer, or another authorized person to act on your behalf with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). This form is required for most permanent‑resident, temporary‑resident, and citizenship applications.

What Is the IMM 5476 Form?

IMM 5476 is a government‑issued PDF that records the details of your chosen representative, their contact information, and the scope of authority you are granting. It is available in both English and French and must be signed by both you (the applicant) and your representative.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Incorrect Representative Details: Double‑check the name, address, and CRA‑issued client number of your representative.
• Missing Signatures: Both the applicant and the representative must sign; unsigned forms are rejected.
• Wrong Language Version: Use the official English or French version that matches the rest of your application package.
• Out‑of‑Date Form: Always use the latest version – the link below always points to the current PDF.

When to Submit the Form

Attach IMM 5476 to the same package as your main application (e.g., Express Entry, Study Permit, Visitor Visa). If you change representatives later, submit a new, signed IMM 5476 with your updated request.
