CIC News was born in 1996 and has become the world’s largest Canadian immigration news website.
Back then, Canada’s immigration department was called Citizenship and Immigration Canada, or “CIC” for short, hence why we named our website CIC News. While the department’s name has changed to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), this website remains steadfast in its mission to provide trusted, authoritative, and timely updates on Canadian immigration.
