Consultations

Citizenship and Immigration Canada regularly conducts public consultations on issues that affect Canadians. Through consultations, the department gains a greater understanding of the perspectives of a wide range of citizens, stakeholders and experts to help inform program and policy decisions.

This section provides information on ongoing and past public consultations.

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