3. Nature of Service
ClearToEnter provides 16 free interactive tools and 189 free educational guides. An optional paid Deep-Dive Library, Volume 1 'Entering Canada' ($79 CAD), Volume 2 'Immigrating to Canada' ($79 CAD), or both volumes ($129 CAD), is currently unavailable (coming soon). When offered, each volume is a pre-written textbook explaining publicly available Canadian immigration law by topic. The volumes collect no information about you, are identical for every purchaser, do not give advice, do not represent you, and do not assess or decide anything about your case. They are informational and educational only, prepared and reviewed from publicly available Canadian immigration law, including the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), and official IRCC policy manuals. Payments are processed by Stripe.
AI tools are used in our own authoring and review of this content, in the same way a word processor or a research database would be. They are never applied to anything you enter, and no user data is sent to any AI provider. Every substantive claim on this site is checked against the official source by a person and carries a visible date saying when.
Content on ClearToEnter is available in 2 languages. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity between translated versions and the English version, the English version shall be authoritative.
This service does not establish any professional relationship. There is no attorney-client relationship, consultant-client relationship, or fiduciary duty created by your use of ClearToEnter. No professional privilege attaches to any information you share with us.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- ClearToEnter shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this service.
- ClearToEnter shall not be liable for any immigration decision, denial, deportation, or legal consequence resulting from reliance on information provided by this service.
- Our maximum aggregate liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to ClearToEnter for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
- If you have not paid for any service, our maximum liability is CAD $0.
5. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ClearToEnter and its operators, agents, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses arising from: (a) your use of the service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) any immigration application or decision you make based on information from this service; or (d) your violation of any applicable law.
6. User Obligations
You agree that you will:
- Use this service for lawful purposes only
- Not overload the site with automated requests. The datasets published at /data are open and free to reuse under the licence stated there, so please take them from the API rather than scraping the pages
- Not use the service on behalf of others without their knowledge and consent
- Independently verify all information before relying on it for any immigration decision
- Consult a qualified immigration lawyer for complex or high-stakes situations
7. Payment Terms & Refund Policy
The Deep-Dive Library is not currently offered for sale. Nothing has been sold and no payment has been taken. The terms below will apply once it launches, and they will be published on the pricing page before any payment is possible.
Every purchase will be covered by a 60-day money-back guarantee: email us within 60 days of purchase and we will refund you in full, no questions asked. Refunding a purchase ends access to the purchased volumes.
This does not limit any right you have under applicable consumer protection law, including the law of British Columbia. If a refund is required by law, we will honour it.
If you experience a technical failure that prevents delivery of your paid service, contact us at hello@cleartoenter.ca within 48 hours and we will resolve it.
8. Intellectual Property
The content, design, and software of ClearToEnter are owned by or licensed to ClearToEnter. Immigration law itself (IRPA, IRPR, IRCC policy) is public domain. The Deep-Dive Library volumes are licensed to you for personal use only, you may not resell, republish, or use them commercially.
Two exceptions are deliberate and stated here so they cannot be argued away later. The datasets published on the Open Data page are licensed for reuse, commercial or not, under the terms set out on that page, which require a visible credit and a working link. The embeddable Express Entry widget may be framed on any site on the same basis, provided its credit line stays visible and clickable. Where this section and the Open Data licence appear to conflict, the Open Data licence governs those datasets and that widget.
9. Disclaimers of Warranty
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. CLEARTOENTER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY ACCURATE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of British Columbia, Canada.
11. Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund?
Nothing is on sale yet, so there is nothing to refund. When the Deep-Dive Library launches, every purchase will carry a 60-day money-back guarantee: email hello@cleartoenter.ca within 60 days of purchase and we will refund you in full, no questions asked. Refunding a purchase ends access to the purchased volumes. If a technical failure ever prevents delivery of something you paid for, contact us within 48 hours and we will resolve it.
What law governs these terms?
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

No. ClearToEnter provides general immigration information only, not legal advice. We are not responsible for any immigration decisions, outcomes, or consequences. Only CBSA officers and IRCC determine admissibility and visa decisions.
Can I share or resell a volume I purchased?
The Deep-Dive Library volumes are licensed for personal use only. You may not resell, republish, redistribute commercially, or share your access with others.
