Hi All
My mother (applicant) and I (sponsor) had applied through a consultant for parental sponsorship in 2019. Later, we submitted the additional documents (police clearance, resume landing fees) before the lockdown. I could not attach her application to the Online login, I believe this was because we had involved a representative.
My mother is in Canada on a visitor visa and we got her visa extended (again through the same consultant). The visitor visa extension application was made Online.
I reached out to the CIC using a webform asking if they have received the documents which the consultant submitted before the lockdown and also to confirm that my mother need not go through the biometric process (she is above 80). I got a long email from CIC highlighting that we need to maintain valid visitor status in Canada and also that the required information cannot be shared with me as I am not my mother’s representative.
I have a few questions:
- Can an applicant have more than one representative (me and the consultant)?
- Do I need to share the visitor visa extension copy with the CIC? I thought that they would have access to the details of the visitor visa extension online so I did not share the details
- Is it better to remove the representative now since it is adding layer and I am not sure whether the representative is fully working?
