Know which files a rule change touches, the day it happens

The Filing & Monitor Agent watches official IRCC and provincial sources for you, explains each change in plain language and links it to the open cases it affects. Your team spends its time deciding what to do, not refreshing government pages.

  • Sources checked twice a day
  • Changes mapped to open cases
  • Answers that cite their sources

Regulatory Monitor is launching soon. The demo shows how it will work, using sample changes and fictional cases.

TOPICS · JURISDICTIONS

Watch what your practice actually handles

The problem

Federal and provincial pages change constantly, but only a fraction of those changes matter to the programs your firm works on.

How it works

  • Choose the programs and topics your firm follows.
  • Add provincial jurisdictions alongside federal IRCC sources.
  • Let each team member follow the areas they handle.
  • Adjust the selection whenever your caseload shifts.

WATCH · COMPARE

Official pages, checked and compared

The problem

Changes to program instructions are often quiet edits to an existing page, with no announcement to tell you they happened.

How it works

  • Official IRCC and provincial pages are checked twice a day.
  • Nested pages are followed too, not just the landing page.
  • Each new version is compared word by word with the last one.
  • You see exactly what was added and what was taken out.

IMPACT · CASES

Every change mapped to your files

The problem

Even once you spot a change, working out which clients it affects means searching the caseload by hand.

How it works

  • Each change is summarised in plain language.
  • A severity score shows how urgently it needs attention.
  • Open cases the change affects are listed right beside it.
  • Alerts go to the people responsible for those cases.

PROCESSING TIMES

Processing times, with the change since last week

The problem

Clients keep asking how long things will take, and the published processing times move every week.

How it works

  • Tracks published processing times for the programs you follow.
  • Shows how far each one moved since the previous update.
  • Flags the open cases where a shift changes the expected timeline.
  • Gives your team a current answer when clients ask.

ASK THE MONITOR

Ask a question, get an answer with sources

The problem

Hunting through government guidance for one detail can take longer than the task it’s for.

How it works

  • Ask questions in plain language.
  • Answers draw only on the official sources being monitored.
  • Every answer links to the passages it relied on.
  • When the sources don’t cover a question, the monitor says so.

CLIENT BRIEFINGS

Client briefings in one click

The problem

When a rule changes, writing to every affected client individually takes a day nobody has.

How it works

  • Drafts a plain-language briefing for each affected client.
  • Writes in your firm’s tone and the client’s preferred language.
  • Every draft goes to the approvals queue; nothing is sent automatically.
  • Briefings that go out are logged on the case.
