Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is the Canadian government department responsible for managing immigration policies, processing applications for visas, permanent residence, and citizenship, and supporting refugee programs. It ensures Canada welcomes newcomers, integrates immigrants into society, and maintains national security. IRCC works to facilitate legal entry, provide support services, and uphold Canada's commitment to humanitarian values. Its goal is to balance immigration growth with the country’s economic, social, and security needs.
