Hello friends. Yesterday I received an email from CIC saying the application has been accepted .
When I applied for my dad he was in Canada (on super visa). I put my Canadian address as his contact address.
The letter that I receive has extensive verbiage about use of representative and imm5476.
Please guide me about the below 2 questions:
1 do I need my dad to fill a imm5476 designating me as an agent
2. What are the next steps
Below is the text of the letter:

Dear Sir/Madam:
This refers to your application to sponsor your parent(s) or grandparent(s) (PGP) Hamid Maqsood under the Family Class.
Your application has been accepted under the intake cap for 2018.
Your application number is located below the date of this letter. You must quote this reference number in any future correspondence related to this file. This correspondence also acknowledges receipt of your payment. Please keep a copy of this letter for your records.
Important information about using a representative:
A Use of Representative form (IMM 5476) must be submitted with an immigration application if the applicant used the services of a representative (such as an immigration consultant or lawyer) to help them prepare their application, or if the applicant wishes to appoint a representative (friend or family member) to conduct business on their behalf with IRCC.
If you appointed a representative and the IMM 5476 was correctly completed and signed, all correspondence from IRCC will be sent to the representative’s email or mailing address.
When submitting your PGP application:
If a paid or unpaid representative’s address was used as the mailing address for the sponsor or principal applicant on the application and a completed and signed IMM 5476 was not submitted; or
If a paid representative was appointed using a IMM5476 but is not in good standing; and/or
The IMM 5476 you submitted was not correctly completed and/or signed as required to appoint a paid or unpaid representative;
Then, all correspondence from IRCC will be sent to the sponsor or principal applicant’s email or mailing address on record as applicable. IRCC will not communicate with this representative until a correctly completed and signed IMM 5476 is received by IRCC.
Should you choose to engage representation in the form of an Immigration Representative or Lawyer, you must complete a Use of Representative Form (IMM 5476). The form can be found at the following link:
