- It’s against the law, and you could be denied entry into Canada or deported after you arrive
- Don’t leave original documents or photos with your representative
- Don’t sign blank application forms
- Don’t sign forms or documents unless you can read them
- If you don’t understand them, ask someone to translate
- Make sure to get copies of any documents your representative makes for you
- Any time you pay your representative, get a signed receipt
- Make sure your representative updates you on your application often
- Protect your money and remember:
- IRCC will never call you and ask you to deposit money into a personal bank account
- IRCC will never ask you to transfer money through a private money transfer company
- our processing fees are in Canadian dollars and they’re the same around the world
