Yes you can do that and you should include all the other documents that they may have that you would also like returned. It is called a "Designated Representative" this type of representative is explained in the manuals Inland processing nine which explains what is required.

Here is the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/manuals-guides/english/ip/ip09e.pdf

Read 3.1, 5.3 and 7.3

You can get away with using the IMM 5476 form but it is better to use the IMM 5475 form as explained in section 7.3 find it in the blue box applications and Immigration forms in Canada.

Hope this explains everything.

do you realize you are responding to threads that are 2-3 years old? you would be better off asking a fresh questions. chances are very good that you will get a better answer.
