Consultations

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) regularly consults the public on issues that affect Canadians. Consultations help us make program and policy decisions. They let us better understand the views of a wide range of:

  • citizens,
  • stakeholders and
  • experts.

This section has information on ongoing and past public consultations.

For a list of consultations under way in other federal departments, please visit the Government of Canada’s Consulting With Canadians website.
