1. Non-Refundable Fees

All initial consultation fees are strictly non-refundable, without exception, under any
circumstances, including but not limited to cancellation, rescheduling, non-attendance,
dissatisfaction, or outcome.

2. Nature of the Consultation – One Session Only

• One (1) session only


• Used in full once the session begins


• Not divisible, extendable, transferable, or carried forward


• Deemed completed regardless of whether the full booked time is used

Any unused time is forfeited. No follow-up, continuation, or supplemental advice is included
unless separately booked and paid for.

3. Limited Scope – Preliminary and Informational Only

The consultation is limited to a high-level assessment and general guidance based solely on
information verbally disclosed by you during the session.

• Not a full legal analysis


• Not a file review service


• No document review unless expressly agreed in writing


• No research, monitoring, or post-consultation advice


• No guarantee of eligibility, approval, or outcome

4. No Ongoing Duty / No Reliance

You acknowledge that immigration laws, policies, program criteria, and officer discretion
change frequently and that the RCIC assumes no ongoing duty of care beyond the consultation.

The consultation may not be relied upon as definitive legal advice for application submission
or decision-making.

5. No Representation Authorized

This consultation does not authorize the RCIC to act as your Authorized Representative with
IRCC, CBSA, any provincial authority, or any other governmental body.

Representation requires a separate written Service Agreement, execution of
required authorization forms, and payment of additional fees.

6. Proceeding Without Representation – No Liability

If you proceed with any immigration process without entering into a Service Agreement with us,
you do so entirely at your own risk.

We assume no responsibility or liability for refusals, delays, errors, omissions,
misrepresentation findings, inadmissibility, loss of status, bans, or any adverse outcome
arising from self-prepared applications.

7. Client Responsibility for Information

All advice is based solely on the information you provide. You are responsible for the
accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of all information disclosed.

8. Credit Toward Future Services (Limited)

The consultation fee may be applied as a credit toward a future immigration matter only if
a Service Agreement is signed within seven (7) calendar days of the consultation date.

The credit has no cash value and is non-transferable.

9. Participants

The consultation is limited to you and your immediate family members as defined under Canadian
immigration law. Inclusion of other individuals requires a separate agreement and additional fees.

10. Quebec Matters Excluded

We do not advise on or represent clients in matters governed by Quebec immigration law,
including CAQ and CSQ applications.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability, if any, is strictly
limited to the amount of the consultation fee paid.

12. Electronic Communication & Confidentiality

You consent to electronic communication and storage of information. While reasonable safeguards
are used, we are not responsible for breaches arising from third-party systems or platforms.

13. Force Majeure

We may reschedule consultations due to circumstances beyond our control, including power
outages, internet failure, or natural events. No refunds apply.

14. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable
federal laws of Canada. Applicable GST/HST will be added where required.

15. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding the initial
consultation and supersedes all prior discussions or representations.
