Editorial standards

Sourcing

Every factual claim about a programme, requirement or process must be traceable to an official Government of Canada page, a provincial or territorial government page, or a published regulatory instrument. Each guide lists those sources at the end.

No invented figures

We do not publish fees, cut-off scores, invitation counts, processing times or draw results unless we can attribute them to an official source and record the date we checked it. Where we cannot verify a figure, we leave it out and link to the official tool instead.

Review dates

Every article carries a published date, an updated date where it applies, and a last-reviewed date. A review means someone re-checked the article against the current official pages, not that the wording changed.

Independence

We accept no payment for coverage. We do not publish sponsored articles, affiliate links, partner promotions or consultant listings. If that ever changes, the disclosure will appear on the article itself and on this page first.

Limits

We publish general information. We never tell a reader whether they qualify, how likely an application is to succeed, or what they should do in their own case. Those are questions for a licensed Canadian immigration lawyer or a consultant regulated by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants.

Artificial intelligence

Tools may assist with drafting and research, but every published article is reviewed by a person against the official sources before it goes live.
