Overview

Terms of use

By using the site, a reader agrees to use it lawfully and acknowledges that its guides and tools are general resources. These terms also explain how content is researched, reviewed, updated and corrected.

Permitted use

Readers may view and link to public pages for personal, educational and legitimate professional purposes. Automated scraping, security interference, impersonation and unlawful use are prohibited.

Access may be limited to protect the service and other users.

Content and intellectual property

Original text, design and generated imagery are owned or licensed by the publisher unless stated otherwise. Short quotations with attribution and ordinary linking are permitted; wholesale republication requires permission.

Government material remains subject to its own notices.

Research and publication standards

Immigration rules are checked against legislation, regulations and official federal or provincial instructions. Settlement information uses government agencies, municipalities and public institutions where possible; competitor pages may identify reader questions but are not treated as legal authority.

Each published URL should answer a distinct question rather than repeat a template with only a program or place name changed. Automated overlap checks and human editing are used to identify repetitive or boilerplate language.

Review dates, updates and corrections

Guides show when they were last checked against their cited sources. Material changes are added to the affected page, and closed or paused programs are identified as historical rather than presented as current opportunities.

Material errors are corrected when identified, with a visible note when the correction changes meaning. To report an issue, identify the page and passage so it can be checked against the governing source.

Use of drafting and research tools

Research or drafting tools, including artificial intelligence, may assist the publishing process. Publication still requires source verification, originality checks and editorial responsibility.

A page is not approved for search indexing merely because a draft or route exists; it must pass the site’s content and source review first.

Tools, links and availability

Calculators provide estimates based on user entries and stated assumptions. External links are offered for convenience and do not make the site responsible for third-party content, security or availability.

The service may change or be interrupted.

Disclaimers and changes

Use is subject to the legal disclaimer and privacy policy. Terms may be updated prospectively, with the revision date shown on the page.

Invalid provisions are severed to the extent permitted while the remaining terms continue.
