2. Terms of Use

By accessing and using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use this website.

Nature of website content

The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal or immigration advice and should not be relied upon as such. Immigration law and policy change frequently. While we make reasonable efforts to keep information current, we make no guarantee that all content reflects the most recent developments from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or other relevant authorities.

No professional relationship

Viewing or using this website does not create a professional relationship between you and ISSR or Sumiksha Randhawa. A professional relationship is only established upon execution of a written Retainer Agreement signed by both parties.

Intellectual property

All content on this website — including text, graphics, layout, and branding — is the property of Immigration Solutions by Sumiksha Randhawa Ltd. and may not be reproduced, distributed, or used without prior written permission.

Third-party links

This website may contain links to external websites including IRCC, the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), and other third-party resources. These links are provided for convenience only. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site.

3. Professional Disclaimer

Regulated immigration consulting

Sumiksha Randhawa is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), the governing body that licenses and regulates immigration consultants in Canada. You may verify her status at any time by visiting the CICC public register at college-ic.ca and searching by name.

No guarantee of outcomes

Immigration decisions are made solely by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and other relevant government authorities. ISSR provides professional preparation, strategy, and representation services — we do not guarantee the outcome of any application, appeal, or immigration matter. Past results achieved for clients are not a guarantee of future outcomes, as each case is assessed individually based on its own facts and the applicable law at the time.

Information is general, not advice

Any information shared on this website, on our social media channels, or in a general inquiry response is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute immigration advice tailored to your specific situation. Formal immigration advice is only provided within the scope of a signed Retainer Agreement.

Unauthorized representatives

Be cautious of individuals who claim to offer immigration services without being licensed by the CICC, a member of a Canadian provincial law society, or a Quebec notary. Using an unauthorized representative puts your application and status at risk. Always verify credentials before engaging anyone for immigration services in Canada.

Complaints and regulatory oversight

If you have a concern about the professional conduct of an RCIC, you may contact the CICC directly at college-ic.ca. ISSR is committed to upholding the highest standards of professional conduct in all client interactions.
