Since 1869, Canada's immigration programs have helped to 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 ideas 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 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.
