Legal Disclaimer
What This Site Is, And What It Isn't.
Immigration decisions belong to IRCC, CBSA, and the Immigration and Refugee Board. This page is about the difference between what we publish, what we advise, and what we can never promise.
In short
Effective 10 August 2026
- Content here is general information about Canadian immigration, not advice on your case.
- No licensed representative may guarantee an outcome, and we do not.
- This is a private firm's website. It is not a Government of Canada site.
- Verify any representative — including ours — on the CICC public register before you pay anyone.
01
General information only
The content on this site is published to help people understand Canadian immigration in general terms. It is not tailored to your circumstances, it does not account for facts we have not seen, and it is not a substitute for advice from a licensed representative who has reviewed your file.
Two applicants whose situations look identical on paper can have different outcomes because of a single detail. Please do not make a filing, travel, or status decision on the strength of a web page.
02
No guarantee of outcome
Decisions on applications, admissibility, appeals, and claims rest with IRCC, CBSA, provincial programs, and the Immigration and Refugee Board. Neither this firm nor any other licensed representative can guarantee approval, a visa, a nomination, a processing time, or a particular result — and under the College's Code of Professional Conduct, no licensee may promise one.
What we commit to is an honest assessment before you spend money, a properly prepared and fully documented file, and a clear explanation of the risks. Treat any consultant who guarantees a result as a warning sign.
03
Currency of information
Canadian immigration law, program criteria, quotas, fees, and processing practice change frequently, sometimes overnight and sometimes with retroactive effect. Pages on this site are accurate to the best of our knowledge when written, and we do not undertake to update every page each time a rule moves.
Where a page cites an official source, the official source governs. Where it conflicts with advice we have given you as a client, the advice on your file governs.
04
News feeds, draw figures, and other sourced content
Some sections of this site summarise or republish material from third parties — IRCC announcements from Canada.ca, Express Entry round-of-invitation figures, institution listings, and reviews published on Google. That material is reproduced or summarised in good faith and links back to its source.
Feeds can lag, break, or carry an error from upstream. Before relying on a number or a date shown here, confirm it against the official source it links to.
05
Client stories and reviews
Reviews and client stories on this site describe individual experiences and individual results. They are not a prediction of what will happen in your matter, and past results do not indicate future ones. Reviews shown on the testimonials page are published by their authors on Google and are displayed as written.
06
What an RCIC-IRB may do
Keerti Kumar is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant with the IRB designation (RCIC-IRB, Licence R1033378), licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants. That licence authorizes immigration advice and representation for a fee, including appearances before all four divisions of the Immigration and Refugee Board.
It is not a licence to practise law. Judicial review at the Federal Court, and matters properly belonging to a lawyer, fall outside what an RCIC may do — and we will tell you plainly, and refer you, if your matter reaches that point.
07
Not a government website
This is the website of a private firm. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the Government of Canada, or the Province of British Columbia. Government forms and services are available directly from those bodies, in most cases free of charge.
08
Fees, quotes, and estimates
Any fee figure or estimate given on this site or in a first conversation is indicative. Fees depend on the type of matter and the work it requires, and become binding only in a signed written retainer agreement. Government fees, third-party fees, and disbursements are separate and are set by the bodies that charge them.
09
Protecting yourself from immigration fraud
In Canada, only licensed RCICs, lawyers and paralegals in good standing with a provincial law society, and Quebec notaries may give immigration advice or representation for a fee. Anyone else charging for it is acting unlawfully.
- Verify us before you pay: licence R1033378 on the CICC public register.
- We will never ask for your IRCC secure-account password, and we never need it.
- We will never ask you to sign a blank form, to misstate a fact, or to submit a document we know to be false.
- Fees are payable to the firm, against a written retainer and a receipt — never to an individual's personal account, and never in exchange for a promised outcome.
- Guaranteed visas, special connections inside IRCC, and job offers sold with an application are the recurring marks of a scam.
Suspected immigration fraud can be reported to IRCC through the fraud reporting pages on Canada.ca, and unlicensed or unethical conduct by a consultant can be reported to the College.

Language
This site is published in English. Where any part of it is translated, by us or by an automated tool, the English version governs in the event of a discrepancy. We are happy to arrange interpretation for consultations.
