Terms of Service
NewcomersPath provides information and tools to help you understand your Canadian immigration options. This is not legal advice, and using this platform does not create a lawyer-client or consultant-client relationship. For advice specific to your situation, we recommend consulting a licensed immigration consultant (RCIC, regulated by CICC) or a lawyer authorized to practice immigration law in Canada.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of NewcomersPath. By creating an account or using our services, you agree to these Terms.
1. Our service
NewcomersPath provides a platform to help individuals navigate the Canadian immigration and settlement process: track progress, manage tasks, keep a checklist of the documents your immigration path requires, and access personalized guidance.
2. Accounts
You must be 18 or older, and have reached the age of majority where you live (19 in some provinces), to create an account or use NewcomersPath. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.
3. Your content
You retain ownership of the information you enter, such as your profile answers and the items you add to your document checklist, but you grant NewcomersPath a license to store and process it to provide the service. The service does not accept uploaded files. Do not enter information you are not authorized to share.
4. Prohibited uses
You must not misuse the service. Prohibited activities include unlawful conduct, attempting to access other accounts, transmitting malware, or infringing others' rights.
5. Intellectual property
All NewcomersPath trademarks, logos, and content are our property or licensed to us. You may not use our trademarks without permission.
6. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The service is provided "as is". We make reasonable efforts to ensure reliability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Document checklists summarize the general lists IRCC publishes for each program; once you apply, the checklist in your IRCC account is the one that applies to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, NewcomersPath is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.
7. Termination
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or for other lawful reasons. You may close your account at any time via account settings or by contacting support.
8. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Canada. If you are a resident of a specific province, local consumer laws may also apply.
9. Changes
We may modify these Terms; material changes will be communicated. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
10. Contact
Questions about these Terms can be directed to support@newcomerspath.ca.
