Privacy Policy — Verge Immigration Services Inc.

At Verge Immigration, we respect your privacy and are fully committed to protecting the personal information of everyone who interacts with our firm — whether you are a prospective client, current client, partner, or visitor exploring immigration options in Canada. This Privacy Policy explains how Verge Immigration collects, uses, stores, and safeguards your personal information when you access our website https://www.vergeimmigration.ca, contact our team, or engage with our consulting services. By using our website or communicating with us, you agree to the terms described below.

1. Who We Are

Verge Immigration Services Inc. is a licensed Canadian immigration consulting firm led by Jatinder Singh, RCIC-IRB, headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our mission is to make immigration to Canada accessible, transparent, and professional. We assist clients inside and outside Canada with study permits, work permits, permanent residence applications, family sponsorships, and provincial nominee programs. As a regulated firm, Verge Immigration complies with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other relevant privacy standards.

2. Information We Collect

To provide personalized and lawful immigration assistance, Verge Immigration may collect information such as:

• Name, email address, phone number, and country of residence.

• Immigration category of interest (PR, work permit, study permit, visitor visa, or PNP).

• Supporting documents that you voluntarily upload or send to our consultants.

• Payment or billing details for professional fees, where applicable.

• Technical information such as IP address, browser type, and device identifiers to enhance website functionality.

This information is collected through secure forms, consultation bookings (for example via Calendly), and direct email communication with Verge Immigration staff.

3. How We Use Your Data

Verge Immigration uses the data you provide solely for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Assessing your eligibility for Canadian immigration programs.

• Communicating about consultation bookings, case updates, and immigration news.

• Processing service agreements and fee payments.

• Improving our website’s performance and user experience.

• Sending newsletters or marketing updates, only with your consent.

Every action we take aligns with Verge Immigration’s mission to deliver transparent and results-driven immigration services. Your information is never sold, traded, or disclosed to unauthorized parties.

4. Consent and Legal Basis

By submitting your information on vergeimmigration.ca, you consent to its use according to this Privacy Policy. For clients in the European Union or jurisdictions under GDPR, Verge Immigration relies on your explicit consent or the performance of a contract as the legal basis for processing data. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us at info@vergeimmigration.ca.

5. Data Retention and Protection

Verge Immigration retains client data only for as long as necessary to fulfill service obligations and legal requirements. Files related to immigration applications are securely stored in encrypted systems and deleted once they are no longer required. Our website is hosted on reputable Canadian servers and uses SSL encryption to protect all online communications. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized team members and regulated representatives under the RCIC-IRB framework.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

To optimize user experience, Verge Immigration uses cookies and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Meta Pixel. These technologies help us understand visitor behavior, measure engagement, and improve content relevance. Cookies do not collect personally identifiable information unless you submit it through a form. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though certain website features may become limited.

7. Embedded and External Content

Our website may include embedded videos, posts, or links from trusted external sources such as IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada), provincial nominee programs, or educational partners. When you click or view embedded content, those websites may collect their own data in accordance with their privacy policies. Verge Immigration does not control third-party tracking and recommends reviewing their respective privacy statements.

8. Who We Share Information With

Verge Immigration shares information only with trusted service providers essential to operating our business — for instance, secure email servers, payment gateways, or CRM systems. Each partner is bound by confidentiality agreements and data-protection standards equal to our own. We may also disclose information if required by Canadian law, a regulatory authority, or court order.

9. International Clients

Many of Verge Immigration’s clients reside outside Canada. By providing information to us, you consent to the transfer of your data to Canada, where it will be processed under Canadian privacy laws. We ensure that all cross-border data transfers are handled with appropriate safeguards and confidentiality.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data held by Verge Immigration. Upon request, we can provide a record of the information collected about you and its purpose. We will comply with any legal obligation to delete or anonymize your data, except where retention is required for administrative or legal reasons (for example, maintaining records for the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants).

11. Marketing and Communication Preferences

Verge Immigration occasionally sends immigration updates, promotional offers, and educational content to subscribers who have opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email or by contacting us directly. We value your time and promise to send only information that is relevant, accurate, and beneficial for your Canadian immigration journey.

12. Data for Minors

Our services are directed to adults seeking immigration or study opportunities in Canada. Verge Immigration does not knowingly collect or process personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If we discover such data has been submitted, it will be promptly deleted.

13. Links to Government and Partner Websites

For transparency and convenience, Verge Immigration may link to official resources such as https://www.cic.gc.ca, https://www.canada.ca, and various provincial nominee program websites. These external sites operate under their own privacy frameworks. We encourage users to review those policies when visiting external links.

14. Security Measures

To maintain the highest level of data integrity, Verge Immigration employs firewall protection, regular malware scans, and multi-factor authentication for all staff accounts. Sensitive documents received from clients are handled only by authorized representatives and stored in password-protected systems. We continually update our cybersecurity practices to align with modern industry standards.

15. Changes to This Policy

Verge Immigration reserves the right to revise this Privacy Policy as laws or business practices evolve. The most current version will always be posted on our website with the effective date clearly indicated. Continued use of our website after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
