Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration

 

About the Ministry


The Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration serves the government and the people of Ontario by:

  • providing services for successful economic and social integration of newcomers, thereby maximizing the benefits of immigration
  • promoting greater social inclusion, civic and community engagement and recognition among all Ontarians.

The ministry welcomes newcomers, and supports and promotes equitable opportunity, responsible citizenship and voluntary action for the economic and social benefit of our communities.

The ministry is dedicated to building a province where newcomers are welcomed, diversity is celebrated, volunteerism is valued and recognized, and people are engaged in working together to improve the quality of life for everyone.
