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 :)

[@ravishshetty1]

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.

[@canadadreamers_]

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. :(

[@ravishshetty1]

@@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 KZbin 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.

[@asmaouad2470]

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

[@mihirtailor2949]

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?

[@canadadreamers_]

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 :)

[@ravishshetty1]

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.

[@dhruvparekh5282]

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?

[@canadadreamers_]

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 😊🙏

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.

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?

[@canadadreamers_]

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. Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe:)

Hello, thanks for watching. N/A means Not Application. So if something doesn't apply in your case, you might leave that blank.

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 :)

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

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.

How to fill a representive form for a child less than a year old?

[@canadadreamers_]

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. :)

[@canadadreamers_]

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!

[@jeniferlomeda2214]

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.

[@ravishshetty1]

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.
