Our Methodology

How We Verify Information

Every legal claim on MyImmigrantRights.ca is cross-referenced against the official text of the relevant statute or regulation, available through the Justice Laws Website (laws-lois.justice.gc.ca) or the applicable provincial legislation portal. We verify section numbers, thresholds, deadlines, and procedural requirements against the current consolidated version of each statute. Where tribunal decisions are cited, we confirm the citation through CanLII (Canadian Legal Information Institute). We do not rely on secondary sources, legal blogs, or news articles as primary references.

Content Review Process

Content is reviewed whenever relevant legislation is amended or when new tribunal decisions establish important precedents. Federal statutes are monitored for amendments through the Parliament of Canada website and the Canada Gazette. Provincial legislation updates are tracked through the relevant provincial legislative assembly or gazette. When an amendment affects content on MyImmigrantRights.ca, the relevant pages are updated to reflect the change.
