What the AI Scanner can extract and how to use it safely

Overview

AI Scanner helps move information from uploaded documents into VisaFlo questionnaires and forms. It can save time, but you should always review extracted data before using it for a submission.

Documents that usually work well

• Previous IMM forms.
• Passports.
• Resumes.
• Birth certificates.
• Prior questionnaires.
• Clear screenshots or PDFs with structured information.

File limits and batching

If there is a limit on how many files can be scanned at once, upload documents in batches. Review after each batch to ensure the next scan does not overwrite or conflict with existing data.

Family-member sections

Be careful when scanning documents into spouse, child, sibling, or parent sections. Confirm you are in the correct person’s section before importing.

Accuracy expectations

AI Scanner may struggle with long bank statements, unclear scans, unusual formatting, or documents in another language. Translate and review manually where needed.

Best practice

Use AI Scanner to accelerate data entry, then have a staff member review the questionnaire before generating forms or running autofill.
