About Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is a federal government department responsible for managing Canada’s immigration system and providing citizenship services. Our mandate is to facilitate the entry of immigrants, temporary workers, and visitors to Canada, while also protecting the health, safety, and security of Canadians.

At IRCC, we are committed to building a stronger Canada by embracing the economic and cultural contributions of immigrants and refugees. Our programs and services are designed to support the successful integration of newcomers into Canadian society, while also upholding our humanitarian and international obligations.

Through our immigration programs, we aim to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and investors who can contribute to Canada’s economic prosperity. We also facilitate the reunification of families and provide protection to refugees fleeing persecution, violence, and conflict.

Our citizenship services ensure that individuals who have met the eligibility requirements can acquire Canadian citizenship and fully participate in our democratic society. We also issue secure Canadian travel documents, such as passports and permanent resident cards, to facilitate travel for Canadians and protect their identity.

At IRCC, we strive for excellence in service delivery, ensuring that our programs and services are efficient, fair, and accessible to all. We work closely with provincial and territorial governments, as well as stakeholders and community partners, to promote the successful integration of newcomers and foster a diverse and inclusive Canada.

Join us in building a stronger, more prosperous, and welcoming Canada.
