At IGOTVISA (Sikka Immigration Consultancy), your privacy is a core institutional priority. We recognize the sensitive nature of international immigration, financial records, identity documents, and academic history.

We adhere strictly to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada, as well as relevant international data protection standards across all our branch offices in Canada and India.

To provide accurate assessment, admission applications, and visa representations, we may collect:

• Personal Identifiers: Full legal name, date of birth, passport details, nationality, phone numbers, and residential address.
• Academic & Career Records: Transcripts, diplomas, degrees, CV/resume, reference letters, and language test results (IELTS, PTE, CELPIP, French).
• Financial & Sponsorship Documents: Bank statements, GIC certificates, loan sanction letters, tax returns, and proof of funds necessary for visa compliance.
• Technical Data: IP address, device metadata, browser type, and cookies used to improve portal security and user experience.

Your personal and case information is utilized strictly for authorized consulting and application filing operations:

• Evaluating eligibility against Canadian Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), and university admissions.
• Preparing and filing study permit, work permit, visitor visa, and permanent residency applications with IRCC.
• Communicating file status updates, document requests, biometrics instructions, and appointment confirmations.

We implement enterprise-grade security protocols to protect client files from unauthorized access, accidental alteration, or disclosure.

Physical files maintained at our Montreal HQ and branch offices are stored in secure, restricted-access compliance archives.

We never sell, rent, lease, or monetize your personal data to advertisers or third-party marketing brokers.
