Permanent Residence

Citizenship, Immigration, and Refugees Canada (formerly known as the CIC) promotes the entrance of immigrants, protects refugees, and provides programs to assist newcomers in settling in Canada. It also includes granting Canadians’ citizenship and travel papers (such as passports).

The IRCC has visa offices worldwide and processes many types of visa applications for people residing outside of Canada.

Canada has generally had a progressive, open immigration policy, with most Canadians having foreign ancestors within a few decades. As Canada faces a demographic crisis while pursuing robust economic growth and security, immigration is expected to play a critical role in the country’s future.

One of the distinguishing features of Canada’s immigration policy is the provision of a road to Canadian citizenship for persons who make the important life decision to move to Canada. Becoming a Canadian citizen and joining the Canadian family is frequently a humbling and emotional milestone in the life of an immigrant.

Citizenship is still an essential component of IRCC, as it was before it was renamed.
