Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) selects and welcomes permanent and temporary residents, and foreign nationals whose skills contribute to Canadian prosperity. It reunites family members, maintains Canadaβs humanitarian tradition by welcoming refugees and other people in need of protection, and facilitates the travel, work, study, and stay of visitors, international students and foreign workers. In collaboration with IRCCβs partners (notably Public Safety and the Canada Border Services Agency), the Department conducts the screening of potential permanent and temporary residents to protect the health, safety, and security of Canadians.
