Retainer and Agent dispute - need help!!

[sysalam]

I am writing to seek guidance related to a dispute between my retainer and his agent; who is helping me with filing an express entry application.


Recently, I received an email from the retainer, with whom I have a formal retainer-ship agreement, that his relationship with the agent (my direct interface) has strained and, that he is taking a legal action against the agent for terminating their MOU. The retainer sent me an email and has encouraged me to stick around with him, since he is legally bound to pursue my EE application.

However, the agent has asked me to sign a user representative letter so he could now associate me with a new retainer, although I am not aware of its legality.

Please let me know how to proceed further. Should I stay with the current retainer, with whom I have the agreement (signed with the help of the agent) OR continue with the agent by signing the user representative form and move on with the new retainer. Please suggest.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

An agent is not legally permitted to represent you so I would not sign a user representative letter (which is not a legal document) with someone who would be breaking the law by representing you.

Many thanks @thevisawhisperer for the insights. I will take your advice

You don't even need an agent, you can do all of this yourself, it's very straightforward.

True, I realized that later. Since I have a legal agreement with the RCIC, I will pursue further with him directly, without involving the agent

thanks!
