Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- IMM 5476 is the 7th form we are filling in this video series. We have addressed all common issues such as who should act as a representative if you don't have one, how to sign this form digitally, how to write N/A, and what to do if a section does not apply to you.
This video is to guide you all who wants to fill IMM 5476 form without any confusion.
I am not any authorized or licensed IRCC official. I sponsored my wife to Canada recently , and this is how I filled my form IMM 5476. My wife became Canadian PR in 2022.

your competitor says you shouldn't use the hand signature in Adobe reader. It should just be your full name as per passport as there are clear instructions in the guidelines. Careful :)
Also should we provide police clearance certificate for both applicant and sponsor?
The signature part in this video is absolutely wrong! Do not do virtual signatures because my form was returned because of that. For this specific form, IRCC wants you to physically sign the forms, scan it and send it to them.
This is really strange and I feel really bad after reading your comment. I have seen many people signing digitally even this form and had no issues.
Do you know where in particular IRCC says that physical signatures are required for this form? Because I see that IRCC says we don’t need any physical signatures for online spousal sponsorship application. :(
@@canadadreamers_ you feeling bad wont change the facts of what happened with me. my IMM 5476 use of representative form was returned twice because it was digitally signed and not physically signed. i digitally signed other forms but there was no issues. for this specific form, IRCC wants real signatures. when i consulted multiple forums and RCIC's, they said the same that digital sign is a no go. It does not matter if the application was submitted online. check other videos on UA-cam for use of representative form and all of them recommend physical signature for this specific form. Only after giving real signature and on the third attempt my IMM 5476 form was accepted. Stop replying to me and ask any RCIC and they will tell you the same.
I am filling out the imm 5476 form. Here it is simply a matter of writing the first and last name to sign! so you advise me to print it? but please tell me, how to send it After scanning? thank you so much
Hi good evening,
I have managed to save the pdf as a simple pdf but I'm not getting any of those edit options you are getting on the top task bar?
Do you think I made a mistake in saving as a simple pdf?
Also on the video IMM5532E you typed name instead of signature. What is the best option?
Can you do a detailed video on saving the pdf as simple pdf?
Thanks
Hi, I wanted to start by saying your videos are great and all parts of the forms are explained pretty well. I had one question about this form. Part 7 your representative's contact information.
I am filling out this form as I am processing the spouse PR application for my wife. Now I have created an email account just for this application for my wife and have provided that email in other forms as my wife's email address.
Can I use just that email address here as I have created that email account only for the communication updates related to this application? or will I have to use my email here?
Hello, thanks for watching. Appreciate your feedback.
In part 7, they are asking for rep contact information, so you (sponsor) are the representative here. So provide your email id. Not Applicant's email id.
Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe 😊🙏
Is it mandatory to assign sponsor as representative?
@@canadadreamers_Is it mandatory to assign sponsor as representative?
Thank you for the video. In the scenario of having only a given name without a surname on an Indian passport, I'm unsure whether to input the name in the surname or given name section of the imm5476 form. I would greatly value your advice on this matter. Thanks in advance.
I filled form of my children so should I fill this form too? As I’m not a Canadian citizen and visiting with them for the first time
Hi there, thank you for all you do, your videos are so clear you have no idea, thanks again. Question, for inland application, can the PA fill the form for representative or it’s just for the sponsor?
Thanks for watching our videos.
No. The sponsors must be the representative. Hope this helps.

Change of representative: in How many days usually we receive aor or
when (weeks/days) do we know that the new representative has been assigned?
Sorry. I am not sure on this timeline.
Hope you get it soon 🤞
Really appreciate your detailed explanation. My wife and I are preparing to apply for Canada visit visa. We're planning to fill the application under "Group - Family" choice and submit both of application forms as a group. Is it OK that we don't fill IMM 5476 form? Actually we'll work together to complete the application but I may contribute more time on it. Looking forward to your kind reply. Thank you again!
If it is only you and your wife, no need to use this form, each of you will apply for own in that Group application
@@SSS-dr4zo You are absolutely correct, Sir! When I started to submit the application, the system automatically deleted my choice of using a representative. Thank you again!
Hi, if you are applying for the visitor visa (not the spousal sponsorship), then you dont have to fill 5476, unless any 3rd person used your application.
Since you are submitting as a group, i dont think you need the 5476.
@@canadadreamers_ Thank you for your reply.
Hi, Can I digitally sign Imm 5476? Because I checked in imm5289 guidelines where they have mentioned I can digitally sign this form. and by digital means just type both PR and Sponsor's full name as per passport?
Hello, thanks for watching. Yes you can do that but I would still prefer that you both sign individually.
Hope this is helpful please like share and subscribe :)
I made the mistake. do not type your names or use e-signature. print the form, sign it with a pen and then scan it. that is the only way IRCC accepts this specific form. for other forms it maybe okay to type your name or use e signatures.
Is it ok if Sponsor used the 1st way to sign and the PA uses the 2nd way to sign 5476 ?
Hi, yes it should be okay as long as they are signed as per IRCC instructions.
@@canadadreamers_ I mean after saving as a simple pdf then you showed 23 ways to sign 5476 in Adobe. That's what I am referring to the 1st way of sign i.e by typing that makes realistic sign and 2nd way of signing by use of a pen tablet to draw the sign. .
@Canada Dreamers Hello, at contact information on imm 0008 I kinda put only the PA's residential address and then the sponsor address at the alternative is that gonna be a problem after doing 5476 form?
Is it ok if one can use typing method for sign instead of use image and other way
I want to submit myself. But if i pay visa fee from someone else credit or debit card then does it need to use a representatives form?😮
Hello I haven’t heard such thing. It should be okay I guess.

Hello - My Spousal application is still under process - but on the status I can see that it says my Biometrics is not received - I already did my Biometrics which show on there system - but still they say that its not received by them. What should I do in this situation ?

Hello, hopenyou can help me, am filling these form for my son and group of students but i have doubt who has to sign?? In the signature of applicant... My son doesn't have a sign even my students ( so I think they have to write their names) and signature of spouse ot will be my signure?? Because am who is helping them to fill? Please hope u can help me.
The applicant filled all forms. But used sponsered email to create an account.
the applicant mentioned her email for communication .
So ddo we still need this form?
Hello, thanks for watching.
That’s fine. You can create account using any email id.
For communication, i think it will be based on the use of representative form. So all communication will go to either email id which you have mentioned here or the email id mentioned for representative form.

Hello, Why and What's N/A, please!?
Hello, thanks for watching.
N/A means Not Application.
So if something doesn't apply in your case, you might leave that blank. But leaving blank sometimes may also represent that you missed to fill details in that section.
Hence, to not have such confusions, please write N/A instead of leaving it blank.

Hi
What if one has not filled representative form and sponsor is also not acting as unpaid representative!
Where does AOR goes to?
Whose email address?
can a representative(sponsor) fill all the forms and as well as sign the forms on behalf of the principle applicant
Hello, thanks for watching.
The representative can fill all the forms but it must be signed by the sponsor and the principal applicant wherever is required.
If representative is filling all the forms, make sure you double check all the information because most of the time they messed up the details.
Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe:)
@@canadadreamers_ thanks for reply- but if the principle applicant has already sent an image of the signature via whatsapp chat can the representative himself upload the signature on behalf of principle applicant
@@aliasezat5644 Hello, I think it should be fine. Please remember, this is my personal view, I am not any authorized/licensed immigration officer. thanks.
I have one doupt i hired a representative to fill my pr application. Now my doubt is will the applicant get aor biometric email or only representative will get.
I think the representative gets all the emails and they forward it to you. Not 100% sure.
How to fill a representive form for a child less than a year old?
Hey sorry I don’t have correct answers for this. :( hope you can find this information elsewhere. And if you get some time, please write back on what you did in this case. :)
Internet response: please validate by yourself:
To fill out the Use of a Representative form (IMM5476) for your child who is less than a year old, follow these steps:
1. Section A: Applicant Information
• Question 1: Enter your child’s information as the principal applicant. This includes their full name, date of birth, and other personal details.
2. Section B: Appointing a Representative
• Question 2: Enter your information (as the parent) since you will be acting on behalf of your child.
• Question 3: Indicate that you are an unpaid representative, as parents typically act on behalf of their children without payment.
3. Section C: Your Representative’s Contact Information
• Provide your contact details, including your address, phone number, and email address.
4. Section D: Your Representative’s Declaration
• Sign and date this section to declare your consent to act as your child’s representative.
5. Section E: Applicant’s Declaration
• Sign on behalf of your child in this section, as they are underage and cannot sign themselves.
Make sure all the information is accurate and complete to avoid any delays in the application process. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
Hope this helps!
Brother i filled the form but i font under stabd how to sign it
Print it, Sign it, Scan it then Send it
Hey, is there any condition such as representative should PR or Citizen of canada or Open or Close work permit can be a representative in all kinds of files?
I think only condition is that rep should be in canada. They dont ask any status in the form.
Hello Is it permissible for the applicant’s signature and the representative’s signature to be the same date?
It can be a fee days apart too, not an issue.
You have not explained in your videos pros and cons of using a representative
There is no such thing as pros and cons for using this form. I have seen almost everyone uses this form whether they have any representatives or just the sponsor. Feel free to write pro and cons if you know any, that might help other viewers :)

Hello I am applicant's sister. In no.10 (declaration ) it says applicant signature and spouse or common-law partners signature. so should I leave it empty?
same doubt.
@@ameyabunde7196 Lemme know if you find any solution, please
applicant must sign there. for the spouse section, it is only for if you are applying under the spousal sponsorship category. otherwise leave blank or write N/A.

@canadadreamers_ thank you 😇
Can we write full name as per passport in the signature
I think yes you can. But the best option is to have them upload.
Sign on any blank paper, scan it and save it in your computer. Then upload your signature here.

I made the mistake. do not type your names or use e-signature. print the form, sign it with a pen and then scan it. that is the only way IRCC accepts this specific form. for other forms it maybe okay to type your name or use e signatures.
It's clear in the instruction you can find it right there on the form already that says digitally sign and do not print and scan. And digital signature as per IRCC instruction is by typing full name as appears in your passport.
For other forms it’s okay to digitally sign it but not the use of representation form. If it’s written that it too can be digitally signed then please show me where that is written because I couldn’t find it. If that is indeed the case then I will fight with IRCC asking why they rejected my form twice and only accepted it after I physically signed it.
You can Google IMM 5772 and check the instructions of use of representative there and also in the form it says electronically also
Imm0707 how you fill that
Is it required? I think it's just an optional form if you want to disclose your information to IRCC. I don't know about your application, but it was optional for me, so I did not provide this form.
Thank you for the information you provided. May I have your contact please.
