FYI: Update for CAIPSNOTE "NEW form IMM5476"

[ItsBeenLongNow]

Dear All,

Just FYI,

"We regret to inform you that we are not able process the CAIPS Standard Repeat order we received from you on 13-Dec-2012.

We are refunding your US$24.00 payment balance immediately. Please understand we can only issue the refund to the credit card/PayPal account you used to pay us.

Without notice, CIC Ottawa has requested us to use form IMM5476 instead of IMM5475. Form IMM5476, “Use of a Representative” requires you to use either an unpaid representative (such as a relative) or a paid representative that has to be a registered immigration consultant. We are not registered immigration consultants (we never represented ourselves as such) and we do not intend to argue with CIC Ottawa; we do not have the resources.

Thank you so much for your understanding and truly sorry for the inconvenience. This came to us as much of a surprise as it comes to you.

Sincerely,"

From which website you ordered and got this message? Thanks

Hi!

I think you have been given the wrong information. I checked CIC website and now they are asking for form IMM5744 as consent and it was IMM5475 before. Please check the following link. Thanks
