Hello,

In section (IMM 5476), Use of a Representative, Compensated Representatives, it is stated that CIC will do proceedings and do business with representatives of good-standing:

It is important to know that anyone who represents or advises you for payment - or offers to do so - in connection with CIC proceedings or applications is breaking the law unless they are an authorized representative or they have a specific agreement or arrangement with the Government of Canada that allows them to represent or advise you. This applies to advice or consultation which happens before or after a citizenship or an immigration application is made or a proceeding begins.

CIC will only conduct business with compensated representatives who are in good standing with their designated regulatory body.

Does that necessarily mean that my application for Travel Document will only be read if I conduct a representative?

Thank you.

- Heidi

No, you don't have to use a representative but if you do, make sure they are authorized and regulated.
