Official source excerpt
Quoted verbatim from the official source below. Ellipses indicate omitted text.
Prior to these amendments, the Regulations specified that no person who was not authorized could for a fee represent, advise or consult with a person who was the subject of a proceeding or application before the Minister, an officer or the Board. Furthermore, the Regulations required that applicants include in their application information about persons who were representing them for a fee in order for Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to be able to contact the representative when needed, and to ensure that the representative was properly authorized under section 2 of the Regulations. Objectives The regulatory amendments will facilitate application processing and enhance program integrity by providing CIC officers with the applicable membership number and the contact information of a person who is advising or representing an immigration applicant for consideration at any stage, including leading up to the application or proceeding before the Minister or the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.
