CIC - Citizenship and Immigration Centres

CIC operates a large network of "Citizenship and Immigration Centres" throughout Canada and in an important number of embassies, high commissions and consulates abroad. Service Canada recently started to take over some of the domestic field operations of the department while the Canada Border Services Agency took over the control of enforcement and entry control at borders and airports.

CIC remains responsible for the establishment of policies and processing of permanent and temporary residence visa, refugee protection and citizenship applications.

Canada Immigration

Canada has a proud tradition of welcoming immigrants. Our immigration system, refugee system and network of organizations to help newcomers settle and integrate are among the best in the world.

One of every six Canadian residents was born outside the country. Immigration has helped to make Canada a culturally rich, prosperous and progressive nation.

Since 1869, Canada’s immigration programs have helped build a community of citizens respected around the world.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) was created in 1994 to:

link immigration services with citizenship registration
promote the unique ideals all Canadians share and
help build a stronger Canada.

The department:

admits immigrants, foreign students, visitors and temporary workers who help Canada’s social and economic growth
resettles, protects and provides a safe haven for refugees
helps newcomers adapt to Canadian society and become Canadian citizens and
manages access to Canada to protect the security and health of Canadians and the integrity of Canadian laws.

Every day, CIC employees work with people from diverse cultures. They strive to serve them fairly, efficiently and with integrity. Our applicants can expect impartial, unbiased and professional treatment, as well as clear and accountable decision making.
