You know (just to add to your rant against rep), that's exactly what my brother in law did. It was confirmed by Quebec Immigration. But the f..... representative forged his signature to put himself back. Of course, that part was unknown by my brother in law until it was too late. This is in another program (Quebec skilled workers), but my brother in law missed a deadline to send documents (because the request was sent to the representative) and his application was closed/refused. I helped him to file a complaint and to ask Quebec immigration to reconsider their decision. About 6 months later, they contacted him by email and they asked him to send a copy of his own signature, and that it would be used in court. Then about a year later, they asked him to send the documents they required the first time. He sent everything they requested in January 2017, since then, no news. We hope he will get news soon, he started in December 2011...
We learned about the signature forging when we were preparing our spousal sponsorship application. That was then very clear to me that I would fill everything by myself.
