Sources and corrections
How public information becomes study material and how concerns are reviewed.
Official sources remain the controlling reference. Source register template included in the build.
1. Source hierarchy
- Use the current official Act or regulation where the statement is legal in nature.
- Use current Government of Canada, CBSA or partner-agency public guidance for procedures and public program information.
- Identify the source family, title, URL, retrieval date and, where useful, the relevant provision or section.
- Prefer the official source over commentary or third-party summaries.
2. How content is written
Study statements are independently written paraphrases unless a short quotation is clearly marked and attributed. Legal references are placed near the lesson so the learner can verify the original. The tool avoids reproducing entire official pages or presenting a paraphrase as an official instruction.
3. Practice scenarios
Practice scenarios are hypothetical learning examples created from public information. They are not real files or records, insider information, official examination questions or predictions of an agency decision. A scenario should separate observable facts, source families, conditions, possible actions and record-keeping considerations.
4. Review and correction workflow
- Receive a report with the lesson, statement, source and reason for concern.
- Check the current official source and record the reviewer, date and decision.
- Correct, clarify, add a citation or keep the content with a documented reason.
- Publish the change, update the source register and notify affected users when the correction is material.
5. Source register
A production source register should track the source title, source family, official URL, retrieval date, lesson or feature using it, last verification date, reviewer and correction status. A template is included with this frontend package.
6. Report a concern
Found an outdated or unclear statement?
Send the lesson title, the exact statement, the official source you checked and a short explanation. Do not send confidential or recruitment-process material.
