Changes to CIC Regional Offices
11/12/2012
On June 1, 2012, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) closed 19 small regional offices across Canada. CIC offices across Canada that remain open will no longer provide walk-in service and applicants will only have access to these offices by appointment.
CIC realizes that this change is an adjustment for the people we serve but does not expect service wait times to increase. With more and more of CIC’s services being provided electronically, fewer individuals will find it necessary to visit local offices.
Applicants will be able to conduct routine business with CIC quickly and easily online. In addition, CIC will offer some in-person services on an itinerant or travelling basis in some of the communities where offices have closed.
