The advantages of having representative is basically simply to
having a second opinion on filling the application, which can
advise on avoiding some mistake and how to file the application
better. Obviously if the representative is paid, he/she has more
obligation to put effort on this advisement.
AFAIK, if the application is straightforward and the applicant
is able to fill the form, generally having representative is of
very little value. Especially since most paid representative
still require the applicant fill the form by him/herself (the
representative just do the checking and put together
documentation).
Note that for a person be granted Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)
in visitor capacity, he/she need to prove that he/she is a
genuine visitor and can provide for him/herself during the visit
and will leave Canada before his/her status expires. If he/she
cannot prove that, the TRV application will be rejected.
In some cases, there are applicants who are genuine visitors,
can provide for themselves, and will leave Canada before their
status expire, but have difficulties proving it. In these cases,
a good and competent professionals can be useful in collecting
the correct documentations and explanation which can be
effective as proof of above.
