Compliance and trust

This is a compliance-oriented implementation, not a claim of compliance. Final Canadian and Quebec legal review is required before any paid or public launch.

Launch blocker: business identity and privacy contact details are configuration placeholders. No privacy officer name, address or complaint contact has been invented — these must be filled with real information before launch.

Privacy by design

We do not ask for Social Insurance Numbers, passport, PR card, health card, licence or banking numbers — ages, dates and status categories are enough. Everything stays in your browser on this device, and you can export or delete it all from the privacy centre. Optional purposes are off until you turn them on.

Source integrity

Each estimate shows where its parameters come from, how confident they are and when they were last verified. Illustrative planning rules stay visually distinct from verified parameters, and eligibility items carry a source field waiting for the official reference.

Commercial independence

Calculation code is technically separated from commercial data. Partner cards are sample placements with a disclosure beside each one. No payment, commission or partnership can change a calculation, an eligibility status or the order of a calculated result.

No advice, no determinations

The product does not determine eligibility and does not provide immigration, citizenship, tax, legal or financial advice. Paid advice or representation connected to an immigration or citizenship application must come from an authorized representative.

Accessibility and contact

We aim for keyboard-operable, labelled, readable and responsive interfaces. No independent audit has been done yet, and customer service contact details are still placeholders.

Current prototype limitations

Eligibility and deadline rules are illustrative planning aids, not official program criteria.
Some cost and benefit figures are labelled planning estimates rather than verified parameters.
Billing is mock only; the indicative Premium price is non-binding until billing is connected and reviewed.
Data lives in your browser's local storage on this device; there is no account, server or backup.
In-app screens are available in English and French; page titles and social sharing text are English-only, and no professional Quebec French review has been done.
