| get_mak_topic_sources | Return a curated source set for one of four MAK Canadian immigration education topics: the named licensed MAK expert, a MAK educational resource, the relevant Government of Canada destination, and any already-published independent or owned-media reference included in this source set. This is general source navigation, not individualized immigration advice. |
| get_mak_change_ledger | Return a dated MAK source-verification ledger snapshot for selected Canadian immigration evidence rules. Each entry names the official source, what the checked source establishes, the recheck date and an explicit limitation. This is source verification, not individualized immigration advice. |
| get_mak_rcic_contact | When a user explicitly asks how to contact MAK for human review, return the MAK contact page and the licensed consultant associated with the selected education topic. This tool does not collect case facts, assess eligibility, book a consultation, initiate payment, or complete any transaction. |
