Nothing on this website is legal advice, and using this website does not make you a client. A lawyer–client relationship is created only by a signed retainer agreement.
1. General information only
The articles, case summaries, FAQs, and tools on this site describe Canadian immigration law in general terms. They are written for a general audience and cannot account for the facts of your file. Immigration outcomes turn on details — the exact wording of the officer's notes, your history, the program you applied under, and the timing. Do not act or refrain from acting on anything you read here without getting advice about your own situation.
2. No lawyer–client relationship
Reading this site, using a tool on it, sending a message through the contact form, or booking a consultation does not create a lawyer–client relationship. We become your lawyers only when we have checked for conflicts, agreed to act, and both sides have signed a retainer agreement.
Because there is no relationship until then, information you send before we are retained is not protected by solicitor–client privilege. Please do not send confidential or sensitive documents until we have confirmed we can act for you.
3. About the free tools
The deadline calculator, Refusal Letter Analysis, success-rate checker, and mandamus readiness check are informational aids. They produce estimates from the information you enter and from published Federal Court decisions. They are automated, they can be wrong, and they do not evaluate your case.
- Deadlines are your responsibility. The deadline calculator gives an estimate. Filing deadlines under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act are strict, and the correct date depends on facts the calculator does not know — including when you were actually served with the decision. Confirm every deadline with a lawyer.
- Success rates are historical, not predictive. Statistics drawn from past decisions say nothing reliable about how a court will decide your case.
- The Refusal Letter Analysis is produced automatically and may contain errors or omissions. It is a starting point for a conversation, not an opinion on your prospects.
4. Case summaries
Summaries of Federal Court decisions on this site are our own condensed descriptions, prepared for readability. They are not the Court's reasons and may omit facts that mattered to the outcome. Always read the full decision, available free from the Federal Court's website, before relying on any ruling.
5. No guarantee of outcome
No lawyer can guarantee the result of an immigration application, a judicial review, or a mandamus application. Past results described on this site do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any other matter.
6. Currency of information
Immigration law, IRCC policy, and processing times change frequently. Content on this site is accurate to the best of our knowledge when published, but we do not undertake to keep every page current.
7. Jurisdiction
This site describes Canadian law and practice before the Federal Court of Canada and IRCC. It is not advice about the law of any other country.
8. Third-party links
Links to external sites are provided for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or accuracy.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss arising from reliance on the content of this website or on the output of the free tools offered here.
