Disclaimer

Last Updated: February 12, 2026

1. General Disclaimer

The information, tools, and resources provided on the New To Canada platform (the “Service”) are made available for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing contained in or provided through the Service is intended to constitute, nor should it be construed as, professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to immigration advice, legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or medical advice.

Your use of the Service and your reliance on any information or content obtained through the Service is entirely at your own risk. New To Canada (“we,” “us,” or “our”) expressly disclaims all liability for any loss, damage, or adverse consequence of any nature whatsoever resulting from your reliance on information provided through the Service.

2. Not Immigration Advice

NEW TO CANADA IS NOT AN IMMIGRATION CONSULTANCY, IMMIGRATION LAW FIRM, OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY. WE ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE IMMIGRATION ADVICE UNDER THE COLLEGE OF IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP CONSULTANTS ACT, S.C. 2019, c. 29, s. 292.

The settlement recommendations, task lists, journey milestones, document checklists, government form references, and other immigration-related content provided through the Service are for general informational purposes only and do not constitute immigration advice as defined under Canadian law. This information is not a substitute for advice from a qualified immigration professional.

Immigration laws, regulations, policies, and procedures in Canada are subject to frequent change without notice. The information presented through the Service may not reflect the most current legal developments, processing times, fee schedules, or policy changes implemented by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or other governmental bodies.

Before making any immigration-related decisions, you should consult with:

  • A Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) registered with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), or
  • An immigration lawyer who is a member in good standing of a Canadian provincial or territorial law society, or
  • A Quebec immigration notary (notaire), if applicable to your situation in Quebec

You can verify the registration status of an immigration consultant through the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) at college-ic.ca. Using the services of an unauthorized or unregistered immigration representative may put your immigration application at risk and is an offence under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).

3. Not Legal Advice

No information provided through the Service constitutes legal advice or creates a solicitor-client, attorney-client, or any other professional-client relationship between you and New To Canada. The Service does not engage in the practice of law in any Canadian province or territory, nor in any other jurisdiction.

If you require legal advice, you should consult a qualified lawyer who is licensed to practice in your jurisdiction. For referrals to qualified lawyers, you may contact your provincial or territorial law society or legal aid organization.

4. Not Financial or Tax Advice

Any references to costs, fees, financial requirements, settlement funds, or budgeting contained within the Service are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute financial or tax advice. Fee amounts referenced in settlement recommendations, document checklists, or AI-generated content may be outdated, inaccurate, or subject to change without notice.

You should consult a qualified financial advisor, tax professional, or accountant licensed in your province or territory for advice specific to your financial circumstances, including but not limited to tax obligations arising from your immigration status, foreign income reporting requirements, and settlement fund planning.

5. Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content

The Service utilizes artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, including large language models provided by OpenAI, Inc., to generate personalized settlement recommendations, chat assistant responses, and other content. You acknowledge and agree to the following regarding AI-generated content:

  • No Guarantee of Accuracy: AI-generated content may contain factual errors, inaccuracies, outdated information, misleading statements, or omissions. AI systems are inherently probabilistic and may produce incorrect or inconsistent outputs.
  • Not Professional Advice: AI-generated content does not constitute immigration, legal, financial, tax, medical, or any other form of professional advice, regardless of how specific or authoritative the output may appear.
  • Independent Verification Required: You are solely responsible for independently verifying all information provided by AI-powered features before relying on it or taking any action based upon it. This includes verifying all government form numbers, fee amounts, processing times, eligibility requirements, and procedural steps against official government sources.
  • No Liability for AI Outputs: We disclaim all liability for any decisions made, actions taken, or consequences arising from your reliance on AI-generated content provided through the Service.
  • Dynamic Nature: AI-generated content may vary between sessions and may produce different responses to the same or similar queries. Consistency of output is not guaranteed.

6. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service may display information about third-party settlement services, businesses, organizations, and service providers, including results obtained through the Google Places API. The Service also contains links to third-party websites, including government websites, community organizations, and other external resources.

The inclusion of any third-party service, business listing, or link within the Service does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee, or representation by New To Canada as to the quality, safety, legality, suitability, or reliability of such third-party service or resource. We do not investigate, verify, monitor, or endorse any third-party services displayed through the Service.

You engage with third-party services and access third-party websites entirely at your own risk. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, practices, policies, or availability of any third-party services or websites. We strongly encourage you to independently verify the credentials, licensing, and reputation of any third-party service provider before engaging their services.

7. Community Content

The Service includes community forum features where users may post questions, share experiences, and provide information. User-generated content in the community forums represents the personal views and opinions of the individual users who create such content. New To Canada does not endorse, verify, adopt, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any user-generated content.

You should not rely on community posts as a substitute for professional advice. Information shared by other users may be incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or based on circumstances that differ materially from your own. Exercise independent judgment and seek qualified professional advice before acting on any information obtained from the community.

8. Government Document Links and References

The Service provides links to government websites, official forms, and document references maintained by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), provincial and territorial government agencies, and other governmental bodies. These links are provided as a convenience for informational purposes only.

Government websites are frequently reorganized, and URLs may change or become unavailable without notice. We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate links, but we cannot guarantee that all links will be functional at all times. If you encounter a broken link, please refer to the search fallback provided or navigate directly to the relevant government website.

Form numbers, fee schedules, processing times, eligibility criteria, and other government information referenced in the Service are subject to change at any time by the applicable government authority. Always verify current requirements directly with the relevant government agency or official website before submitting any application or payment.

9. No Guarantee of Immigration Outcomes

Use of the Service does not guarantee any particular immigration outcome, including but not limited to approval of a visa, work permit, study permit, permanent residence application, citizenship application, or any other immigration benefit. Immigration decisions are made solely by the relevant governmental authorities, including Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB), based on applicable laws, regulations, and policies.

The settlement journey progress tracking, milestone completion, task checklists, and similar features within the Service are organizational tools designed to help you stay informed. Completion of tasks or milestones within the Service has no bearing on the outcome of any government application or process.

Individual immigration outcomes depend on a multitude of factors specific to each applicant’s unique circumstances, including but not limited to personal background, qualifications, documentation, admissibility, and the discretion of immigration officers. We make no representations or warranties regarding the likelihood of success of any immigration process.

10. Accuracy of Information

While we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and up-to-date information through the Service, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, content, or materials contained within the Service.

Information may contain typographical errors, technical inaccuracies, or omissions. We reserve the right to make changes, corrections, and improvements to the information at any time without notice. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.

We encourage you to report any inaccuracies or errors you discover in the Service by contacting us at legal@newtocanada.com.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NEW TO CANADA, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • DAMAGES ARISING FROM BROKEN, UNAVAILABLE, OR INCORRECT LINKS TO GOVERNMENT WEBSITES OR FORMS
  • LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES

This limitation applies whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this section apply in addition to, and not in lieu of, the limitations of liability set forth in our Terms of Service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.
