Refund, Service Delivery and Privacy Policies.

 

Refund and Service Delivery Policies - As a client of Vamos a Canada, we will do our best to provide you with the highest level of quality possible in all our products and services. For this reason, we have instituted the following policies:


Prices
Prices for all products and services are subject to change without notice

Communication
Vamos a Canada will do its best to reply to all requests within 5 business days. Most of our communication exchanges with our clients have no charge, so we ask you to be patient This refers to all sorts of communication such as email, phone calls and faxes. In the event it is out of our hands to get back to you within 5 days, we will let you know.

Student Services
Vamos a Canada will do its best to get you the school or summercamp you want to study in, based on your budget and preferences. We try to work with only the best institutions in the country. However, because Vamos a Canada is only an intermediary, it is the school who is solely responsible for the services they provide, Vamos a Canada cannot be held responsible for their actions. If for some reason you are not entirely satisfied with the school services, facilities or others, you will have to deal with them directly, to see if you are ultimately entitled to some kind of compensation. Depending on the problem, Vamos a Canada may file a formal complain with the school, but only to help the student and not on his behalf. If we believe the school is being unfair to the student, we may opt not to represent them anymore. In the case where a student was denied a visa to come to Canada, it is the sole responsibility of the school to refund the student through their own policies. Vamos a Canada does not have a say in those policies but abides by them. To get a refund, the student must comply with these policies.

Immigration Services
Vamos a Canada will do its best to give you the highest quality service possible. If you purchased our evaluation kit it might take us up to 7 days to get back to you. If we can't do so, we will let you know, and only in the cases where it is impossible for us to do your evaluation (technical difficulty or catastrophe) we will give you a refund. We also remind you that since Vamos a Canada's opinion about your case is based on your answers to the questionnaire, it does not represent Citizenship and Immigration's Canada's opinion, nor is it a guarantee your case will be accepted. On the other hand, Vamos a Canada does not guarantee the approval of any case as this is only CIC Canada's responsibility and nobody else's. We are also prohibited from giving any guarantees per CSIC's rules of conduct.

Settlement Services
When you migrate to Canada, Vamos a Canada will try to give you the best service possible. We know its hard moving to a new country, so we'll try to make it painless. If your some reason we cannot deliver one or more of the services agreed upon (i.e., we couldn't pick you up at the airport due to unforeseen circumstances) you will be entitled to a refund which will be determined depending on the severity of the problem(s) we caused to you. We will also do our best in accomodating all your needs and preferences (i.e., getting you an apartment with the characteristics you want), but if it's not possible to do it (i.e., the apartment we got you costs a little more than you thought), we cannot be held responsible for that since it depends on 3rd parties. In general, anytime you feel the service you got was not what you were told, we will review it, make a decision and if entitled to, we'll give you a refund based on the validity and severity of your complain, but you cannot assume we will give you a refund since we do not offer a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee.

Homestay Services
Whether you visit, study or migrate to Canada, Vamos a Canada offers a homestay service (in Toronto only). Should you decide to take it, you must abide by the house rules, which are designed to make things easier for all people staying at the house. These rules must be read, signed and enforced by the customer upon entry, and if they are not met, the customer may be liable for any damages inflicted to the property or to others. It is also the customer's responsibility to notify the management of any problem with the facilities (i.e. light bulbs, jammed doors, etc.). If it is determined that the customer caused the problem due to negligence or misuse, it will be his/her responsibility to fix it, at his/her own expense. If the customer did not cause the problem, Vamos a Canada we'll do whatever it takes to fix the problem in a timely and efficient manner. If it is a severe problem that requires more time to fix, an alternate homestay may be provided.
