Security

Client data is the most sensitive thing in your practice. We treat it that way.

Every practice on VisaArc runs on Canadian infrastructure, under Canadian privacy law, with access controls scoped to your team only. Built for RCICs who need PIPEDA-compliant immigration software hosted in Canada.

Canadian data residency

All client files and application data are stored and processed on AWS ca-central-1. Nothing crosses the border by default.

PIPEDA-compliant by design

Data handling, retention, and consent practices are built around Canadian federal privacy law from the ground up.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Client documents and personal information are encrypted end to end, both moving through the platform and sitting in storage.

Scoped access controls

Only your practice's authorized team can access your files. No cross-practice visibility, ever.

Data portability

Export your full client files at any time. Scheduled backups to your own storage are supported, so you always keep an independent copy outside the platform.

Built with CICC obligations in mind

Configured around the recordkeeping and confidentiality expectations regulated consultants already operate under.

A direct line to the team

Security questions go straight to the people who configured your setup - not a support ticket queue.

How VisaArc handles AI accuracy

Under Canadian immigration rules, a factual error submitted on a client's behalf can carry serious consequences - including findings of misrepresentation even when the error was unintentional. That is why VisaArc is built as a suggestion-and-review system, not an auto-submitter.

Every AI-extracted or AI-suggested field is flagged for consultant review before it can go onto a form your firm signs off on. VisaArc keeps an audit trail of what was AI-suggested versus consultant-verified, so you have a clear record if a compliance question ever comes up. The final judgment call stays with your regulated consultant - on every field, every time.

CICC-compliant software for regulated practices

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants operate under College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) rules for confidentiality, recordkeeping, and professional conduct. VisaArc is configured with those obligations in mind - scoped team access, auditable file handling, and Canadian data residency - so your software stack supports how you already practice, rather than fighting it.

Automation never replaces a consultant's judgment. VisaArc prepares documents and forms for your review; you remain the regulated professional responsible for advice and submission decisions.
