What the law says

Excerpts of the law are reproduced in their official French version; the explanation that follows is translated.

Loi sur l'immigration et la protection des réfugiés (L.C. 2001, ch. 27), art. 91 (2) a)

« Sont soustraites à l'application du paragraphe (1) les personnes suivantes : a) les avocats qui sont membres en règle du barreau d'une province et les notaires qui sont membres en règle de la Chambre des notaires du Québec; »

Only a lawyer, a notary or a licensed consultant may, for a fee, advise or represent a person on an immigration application. Me Guillaume Phaneuf is a lawyer and a member of the Barreau du Québec: he is the representative declared to IRCC for your file.

Official text on Laws of Canada (Justice Canada)

Loi sur la citoyenneté (L.R.C. (1985), ch. C-29), art. 21.1 (2) a)
