The 12 politicians in charge of Immigration Canada are listed below.

The members of the 44th legislative session’s Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration have been chosen.

The 12 members of Canada’s Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration have been chosen to oversee government immigration and diversity policy.

The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) are overseen by the Standing Committee, commonly known as CIMM for short (IRB). It investigates and reports on how each of these organisations functions, including if they are meeting their objectives and how they are managed.

They look at statute law, backlogs in immigration petitions, programme and policy objectives, and efficacy, among other aspects.

CIMM conducted a thorough analysis of the COVID-19’s impact on Canadian immigration during the last parliamentary session, and gave recommendations on how the immigration system may be modified. These studies do not compel the dominant political party to make any changes, but they can assist guide policy.

Members of Parliament (MPs) from each “recognised” political party make up the committee. A political party can only be recognised in Canada if it has 12 or more members in the House of Commons.

The new committee will not be able to fulfil its obligations until members are selected and a chair is chosen. At the first committee meeting on December 14, members will elect a chair.

The composition of the House of Commons is subject to change throughout the legislative session. For the time being, here are the 12 members of Parliament who will be leading the charge:
