Legal Disclaimer

Last updated: February 28, 2026

RateMyImmigration is an independent review platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government body, regulatory authority, or official immigration organization.

1. Platform Purpose

RateMyImmigration is a consumer review and directory platform designed to help individuals in Canada research and share experiences with immigration consultants (RCICs) and immigration lawyers. The Platform aggregates user-generated reviews and publicly available professional information.

The Platform serves an informational purpose only. It is not a regulatory body, licensing authority, or complaint tribunal.

2. No Professional or Legal Advice

Nothing published on RateMyImmigration — including reviews, ratings, consultant profiles, blog articles, guides, or any other content — constitutes immigration advice, legal advice, or professional advice of any kind.

Immigration law is complex and fact-specific. Before making any immigration decisions, you should consult a qualified, licensed immigration professional (RCIC or immigration lawyer) who is authorized to practice in Canada.

3. No Endorsement of Professionals

The presence of an immigration professional on this Platform, or the receipt of a high rating, does not constitute an endorsement, certification, or recommendation by RateMyImmigration. We do not verify the competence, suitability, or trustworthiness of any listed professional.

Badges such as "License Verified" or "Identity Verified" indicate only that we have attempted to cross-reference publicly available regulatory information. They do not guarantee that a professional is currently in good standing or free of complaints.

Always verify a consultant's license status directly with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) or the applicable provincial law society.

4. User-Generated Reviews

Reviews published on the Platform are submitted by individual users and represent their personal opinions and experiences. RateMyImmigration does not independently verify the accuracy of any review.

We are not liable for any content submitted by users. If you believe a review is false, defamatory, or violates our Review Policy, you may submit a dispute request.

5. No Government Affiliation

RateMyImmigration is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or approved by:

  • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
  • The College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC)
  • The Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association (CILA)
  • Any provincial law society
  • Any other government body or regulatory authority

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, RateMyImmigration, its operators, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any damages — including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages — arising from:

  • Your reliance on any review, rating, or profile information on the Platform.
  • Your selection of, or engagement with, any immigration professional found through the Platform.
  • Any immigration outcome or decision made based on content available on the Platform.
  • Unauthorized access to or alteration of your data.

7. Accuracy of Information

While we strive to keep Platform information accurate and up to date, we make no representations or warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, or currency of any information on the Platform. Professional profiles may contain publicly sourced data that is subject to change.
