BoleNorth

The problem

People planning to immigrate piece together draw results, provincial programs and scoring rules from dozens of government pages. BoleNorth puts them in one place and keeps them current.

What I built

• A map of 82 pathways from federal and provincial sources. Every page cites the official page it came from.
• Seven tools that run in the visitor’s browser: a CRS calculator, eligibility checks, a pathway finder and more. Nothing typed into them leaves the device.
• An update system. The site checks the federal immigration department’s data every ten minutes on weekdays. When a new draw is published it rebuilds every affected page, adds a page for the draw and notifies search engines.
• Google sign-in for members, with a personal dashboard.
• English by default with a one-click switch to Chinese.
• A traffic dashboard on the site’s own domain: sources, regions, devices and time on page, with no outside tracker.
