Consultation Services Agreement

This Agreement outlines the terms of consultation services provided by Dr. Gautham Kolluri, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC #535191), to the Client.

Service Terms

The Client agrees to pay the consultation fees as specified in the booking tool for the selected online consultation service, which aims to gather sufficient information to enable the RCIC to provide a comprehensive analysis and advice on immigration options, including estimated timelines, fees, and costs.

Client Obligations

The Client must provide accurate, complete, and truthful information and documentation as requested by the RCIC, fully disclosing all relevant details, including adverse or negative information, as failure to do so may impact the advice given, void this Agreement, or affect the outcome of the Client's application or immigration status.

Advice and Limitations

The RCIC's advice is based on Canadian immigration law and policy in effect on the consultation date, and the RCIC is not responsible for subsequent changes in legislation or policy that may affect future applications or outcomes. The RCIC will deliver services to the standard of a competent CICC member but does not guarantee success of the Client's immigration, business, education, or employment goals, as outcomes depend on factors beyond the RCIC's control.

Confidentiality Commitment

The RCIC is obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the Client's information, and all data and documents provided will not be disclosed to third parties, except to the RCIC's agents or employees, without the Client's prior consent—unless required by law.
