Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Citizenship and Immigration Canada - Government of Canada is Canada’s official source of immigration and citizenship information.
Since 1869,
Canada’s immigration programs have helped build a community
of citizens respected throughout the world. Citizenship
and Immigration Canada (CIC) was established in 1994 to link immigration services with
citizenship registration, to promote the unique ideals all Canadians
share and to help build a stronger Canada.
The Department
- admits immigrants, foreign students, visitors and temporary workers who enhance 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.
