Software pricing, not representation fees

Charge for application-prep software while staying outside paid immigration advice.

permitflow can monetize checklists, form pre-fill previews, validation reports, saved workflows, and professional practice software. The product must not sell immigration advice, strategy, representation, or IRCC submission unless a licensed professional provides that service.

Review boundary first

Before any paid package

Confirm the software-only boundary

Paid permitflow packages sell software outputs: checklists, form pre-fill previews, consistency checks, printable prep bundles, and workflow tools. They do not include immigration advice, legal advice, representation, IRCC submission, or a recommendation about which program you should choose.

Professionals

SaaS for RCICs, lawyers, firms, and partners

This is the cleanest higher-ticket model: permitflow supplies workflow software, while the licensed representative keeps responsibility for advice, representation, client contracts, and professional duties.

Best for solo practices

Solo RCIC / lawyer workspace

$99–$299 / month

Workflow software for licensed professionals who provide their own advice under their own licence.

  • Client intake portal mapped to supported program rules
  • Document checklist and form pre-fill workflow
  • Rule audit trail for professional review
  • Client-facing disclaimers that distinguish software from representation

The licensed professional, not permitflow, provides any advice or representation.

Use as firm software

Firm team / white-label

$499+ / month

A branded preparation workspace for immigration practices, schools, employers, or settlement partners.

  • Team dashboard for intake status and missing documents
  • Program-specific workflow templates
  • Exportable prep reports for professional review
  • Data handling controls for sensitive immigration information

Software-as-a-service contract; no direct applicant advice by permitflow staff.

Compliance sources

These sources define the operating boundary for paid packages, professional referrals, privacy, and email marketing.

permitflow provides software assistance only and is not a licensed immigration consultant, lawyer, or notary. This is not immigration advice. You are the applicant and are responsible for all information you submit to IRCC. Always confirm current requirements on official Government of Canada (canada.ca) pages.
