Immigration Assessments and Online Forms

Our website may provide assessment tools or forms intended to help determine which immigration services or pathways may be appropriate for a prospective client.

Information submitted through an assessment or form may be reviewed by Briere Immigration to understand your circumstances and determine whether further consultation or immigration services may be appropriate.

Submitting an assessment or inquiry does not, by itself, create a client relationship or guarantee eligibility, approval, or any particular immigration outcome.

Consent

By providing personal information through our website, completing an assessment, submitting an inquiry, requesting a consultation, or engaging Briere Immigration for services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information for the purposes identified when the information is provided or for purposes reasonably related to providing immigration services.

Where required by applicable privacy legislation or professional requirements, we will obtain additional consent before using or disclosing personal information for a new purpose.

You may withdraw your consent to certain uses of your personal information, subject to legal, professional, contractual, or other reasonable limitations. Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide immigration services or continue acting on your behalf.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Briere Immigration does not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to provide immigration services, operate our website, manage client matters, or conduct our business. This may include disclosure to:

• Authorized employees, representatives, or contractors who require the information to provide services
• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and other Canadian government departments or agencies where authorized and necessary
• Immigration tribunals, regulatory bodies, or other government authorities where applicable
• Website hosting, technology, communications, analytics, and other service providers
• Translation, document preparation, or professional service providers where reasonably necessary
• Payment processors and financial institutions where applicable
• Professional advisors where reasonably necessary
• Government authorities, courts, or law enforcement where required or permitted by law
• Other organizations or individuals where you have provided consent or where disclosure is otherwise authorized or required by law

We take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party service providers only receive information reasonably necessary for the services they provide.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including Canadian government websites, immigration resources, appointment or scheduling platforms, payment providers, social media platforms, and other external resources.

Once you leave the Briere Immigration website and access an external website or service, that provider’s privacy policy and terms may apply. Briere Immigration is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites or services.

We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policy before providing personal information to a third party.

Protection of Personal Information

Briere Immigration takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, loss, theft, or destruction.

Because immigration files can contain highly sensitive personal information and supporting documentation, reasonable safeguards are used to limit access to information to individuals and service providers who require it for legitimate business, professional, or legal purposes.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through our website or other electronic communication systems.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, provide immigration services, maintain client files, meet professional and legal obligations, resolve disputes, and satisfy applicable record-keeping requirements.

Information may be retained for an appropriate period after an immigration matter has concluded where required or reasonably necessary for professional, legal, regulatory, or business purposes.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy, delete, or anonymize it.

Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information

You may have the right to request access to personal information Briere Immigration holds about you and request that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected, subject to applicable legal, professional, legal privilege, or other limitations.

If you would like to make a privacy-related request, please contact Briere Immigration using the information provided on our website. We may need to verify your identity before providing access to or making changes to personal information.

Privacy Questions and Complaints

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, would like to request access to or correction of your personal information, or have a concern about how your personal information has been handled, please contact Briere Immigration.

We will review privacy inquiries and complaints and take reasonable steps to address concerns in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation and professional obligations.
