Important Disclaimer

§1. Not the Government of Canada

§1.1 DOSSIAR Labs Inc. is an independent Canadian corporation. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorized by, or acting on behalf of:

• §1.1(a) IRCC or any Minister or officer thereof;
• §1.1(b) The Government of Canada, its departments, agencies, Crown corporations, Canadian High Commissions, Consulates, Embassies, or Visa Application Centres;
• §1.1(c) CBSA or any border-services officer;
• §1.1(d) The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB);
• §1.1(e) The College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC);
• §1.1(f) ESDC or any LMIA-responsible authority;
• §1.1(g) Any provincial or territorial ministry responsible for Provincial Nominee Programs or Québec immigration;
• §1.1(h) Any foreign government, including MARA (Australia), OISC (UK), USCIS, or the U.S. Department of State.

§1.2 Any visual element, format, or terminology resembling official Canadian government materials ("Officer AI", "verdict", "GCMS", "procedural fairness letter", IRCC form numbers) is used solely to reproduce the look and feel of real practice for educational purposes. It is not an official document, form, or communication.

§2. The Simulated Officer Is a Simulation

§2.1 The "Simulated Officer" (also "Officer AI", "Virtual Embassy") is a software component using LLMs, RAG, and deterministic evaluators to produce simulated adjudicative output.

§2.2 The Simulated Officer:

• §2.2(a) is not a real immigration, visa, or processing officer;
• §2.2(b) has no authority over any real application, petition, appeal, or proceeding;
• §2.2(c) does not query or communicate with IRCC GCMS, Portal, or any government database;
• §2.2(d) does not represent any individual IRCC officer's opinion;
• §2.2(e) may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated output and may "hallucinate" facts, citations, or policy.

§3. Approval Likelihoods Are Simulated Predictions

§3.1 Any approval likelihood, success score, confidence interval, risk flag, refusal ground, or verdict is a simulated prediction based on pattern-matching against public IRCC PDIs, Ministerial Instructions, anonymized ATIP releases, and Federal Court decisions on CanLII.

§3.2 Simulated predictions:

• §3.2(a) are not guarantees or warranties;
• §3.2(b) carry no legal weight in IRCC processing, IRB appeal, Federal Court judicial review, or any related proceeding;
• §3.2(c) must not be shared with, shown to, or cited to a real client or tribunal as authoritative.

§4. Not Legal Advice

§4.1 Nothing on the Service constitutes legal advice, immigration advice, representation, or the provision of regulated immigration services within the meaning of IRPA s.91.

§4.2 The Service is a training and professional-development tool only.

§4.3 No lawyer-client, RCIC-client, consultant-client, or fiduciary relationship is formed by your use of the Service.

§4.4 Members of the public seeking help with real immigration matters should consult a licensed Canadian immigration lawyer or an RCIC in good standing (CICC directory: college-ic.ca).

§5. RCIC Professional Responsibility Is Unchanged

§5.1 RCIC Users remain solely and personally responsible for advice they provide to real clients. The CICC Code, By-laws, IRPA, the Regulations, and provincial law-society rules apply in full.

§5.2 In particular, RCICs must:

• §5.2(a) exercise independent professional judgement on every real file;
• §5.2(b) verify current IRCC policy against the official Canada.ca source before acting;
• §5.2(c) maintain client confidentiality and never input real client PII;
• §5.2(d) never represent that a simulated verdict is an IRCC decision or official guidance;
• §5.2(e) maintain errors-and-omissions insurance as required by the CICC.

§5.3 DOSSIAR Labs Inc. does not supervise, employ, or assume professional responsibility for any RCIC or lawyer, and owes no duty of care to any real client of any user.

§6. No Real Client Information — Synthetic Data Only

§6.1 The Service is a sandbox training environment. It is not certified for real-client confidential information.

§6.2 You must not input real client PII — names, dates of birth, passport numbers, UCIs, file numbers, biometric or tax identifiers, email addresses, or other direct or indirect identifiers.

§6.3 All practice data must be synthetic. Any resemblance to real persons is coincidental. We may suspend or terminate accounts we reasonably believe have submitted real client data.

§7. Policy Accuracy and Currency

§7.1 IRCC updates PDIs and Ministerial Instructions frequently — often multiple times per quarter. Our KB is updated on a best-effort schedule, typically within 14–21 days of published change.

§7.2 We make no warranty that any policy excerpt, citation, or summary is current. Always verify against the official source at canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship before acting on any real file.

§8. Jurisdictional Scope — Canadian Only

§8.1 The Service is designed for Canadian immigration practice. Any reference to other jurisdictions is illustrative only.

§8.2 We do not hold ourselves out as qualified to advise on or simulate practice in non-Canadian jurisdictions unless and until a jurisdiction-specific module is expressly released and labelled as such.

§9. Authorization — Licensed Practitioners Only

§9.1 The Service is intended exclusively for CICC-licensed RCICs, provincial law-society-licensed immigration lawyers, firms employing them, and CICC-recognized institutions and their students.

§9.2 Unauthorized practice of immigration law or consulting under IRPA s.91 is a criminal offence. Use of the Service does not authorize any person to engage in such practice.

§10. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability

§10.1 "As is" / "as available". We disclaim all warranties and limit liability as in the Terms of Service.

§10.2 You assume full professional responsibility for any action taken or not taken in reliance on the Service.

§11. Acknowledgement

§11.1 Use of the Service constitutes acknowledgement of this Disclaimer. A first-use modal requires explicit acknowledgement.
