đ¨ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Weâve consolidated all our questionnaires into a single Universal Questionnaire that adapts dynamically based on the Immigration Pathway, the applicantâs responses, and their assigned role. For example, when a questionnaire is assigned to the Sponsor, it will automatically tailor the questions to show only whatâs relevant to them. Additionally, as applicants provide their answers, further questions will appear and be marked as required to ensure you capture all the necessary details for completing their application.
Forms and Document Checklists are now automatically assigned to applicants based on their selected Immigration Pathway and assigned role.
Be sure to assign the correct role to each applicant to provide the most streamlined experience.

We hope you enjoy version 3.0 as much as we've enjoyed making itđ!
Sincerely,

AI-Powered Tools

AI-powered scorecards are now part of assessments, delivering more robust evaluations. While our Rules Engine validates scores to minimize AI errors, we recommend reviewing scores before sharing them with clients. Please use the built-in feedback tool in the scorecard to report any issues or suggest improvements.
Copilot Insights (AI-Powered Recommendations)
Use Copilot to get AI-driven suggestions on how your client can improve their scores across immigration pathways.
Hereâs an example of an AI-driven suggestion generated upon completing an assessment.

Once activated, youâll begin receiving AI suggestions for each assessment.

These limits can be increased based on your usage and needs, for an additional cost.

Upgraded Questionnaires
Weâve replaced all our questionnaires with a single dynamic, universal version that adapts based on the selected immigration pathway and user responses. Key features include:
Dynamic question flow that adjusts in real time based on user inputs and selected pathway
Only the most relevant questions are shown, reducing clutter and confusion
Automatic saving of answers every 90 seconds ensures no progress is lost
Manual save option available for added control
Users can resume the questionnaire at any time through the Client Portal
Data Sharing
Information entered by clients in questionnaires is automatically carried over to future questionnaires, minimizing repetitive data entry and streamlining the data collection process. For example, if a client provides demographic details, that information will automatically populate in future questionnaires.
đ¨Data Sharing Eligibility
Data sharing is only enabled if the client has previously completed a questionnaire in full. Once theyâve submitted it and attested that the information is complete and accurate, the data becomes eligible to be shared across future questionnaires to help minimize redundant data collection.
Automated Sort and Travel Duration Calculation
Our questionnaire now auto-calculates durations in days and automatically sorts your clientâs data in descending chronological order, making it easier to align with immigration form requirements.

GST/HST Number
You can now display your GST/HST Number at the top of invoices by entering it in the HST Number field located under the Payment Terms section in Settings.
Trust Account Reconciliations
Designated Fee Source
To support more advanced reconciliations, weâve added a new feature that lets you designate a deposit as the source for covering processing fees. For instance, if you billed a client $100 via Stripe and a $3 fee is deducted, only $97 is deposited into your bank account. This can create reconciliation challenges, especially if the clientâs Service Agreement reflects a $100 payment for the milestone. To address this, you can deposit funds into the Trust Account specifically to cover such fees. By marking this deposit as a fee source in CaseEasy, the system will automatically apply the $3 fee from that deposit, restoring the clientâs balance to the full $100.
đ CaseEasy Pay (Lowest Fees Card Processor)
Consider opening an account with our very own payment gateway, CaseEasy Pay. It offers some of the lowest fees in the industry, at just 2.85% + 25 cents.Â
Unlike most providers, transaction fees are not deducted from your clients' payments. Instead, theyâre withdrawn from a dedicated account at a set time each month, making reconciliation much simpler. For example, if you invoice a client $100, the full amount will be deposited into your bank account. Then, at a later date, the processing fees will be withdrawn from the designated account of your choice to cover fees.
