withdraw from consultant - urgent seniors help pls

[tasmac]

Hi,
I had applied to NS for my first stage through a consultant and have now got the AOR from NS.
He is not helping me now and just wants to do paper forwarding instead. Would like to dump him.

1) is it possible to replace first consultant with self or another one. How to inform cic about the change.

2) Is it possible to apply for second stage (full docs to VO) without consultant

3) will it be shown as a black mark because i applied initially with consultant and then now I am applying without one.

1. You can write to CIC/ CHC quoting your file number mentioning withdrawl of representative and change in address.
2. Under FSW you dont need consultants (clerks) at any stage , you can do it, we all can help you here.
3. Consultants are black holes and no black mark or adverse inference will be drawn because of withdrawl of money(blood) sucking leech.
SO GO AHEAD WITH YOUR PLANS

Yes, consultants are idiots and no use... I've used one but too late in the day for me.

You'd need to fill up IMM5476 and send to your visa office.

thanks guys....

I received my AOR # in an email from my consultant. Is there any letter (letter from CIC which they sent with file number intimating my AOR) that I should get from them.

I am concerned if I need that original letter beocz it says I need to keep in the file when I send my new documents.

Or
Do I only need to mention my AOR number

i think with any correspondence with CIC you need to mention the AOR number or immigration file number
also don't forget to add your name,date of birth and country of nationaly.

Your Immigration file no. (the "B" no.) is what is important. All the best.

You should file this one.

If you want to represent yourself then write a letter in addition.
