About IRCC.com

What IRCC.com is

IRCC.com is an independent news and information aggregator covering Canadian immigration. We read what the Government of Canada publishes — Express Entry draws, PNP rounds, processing-time updates, fee changes, levels-plan announcements, and policy reforms — and we explain those developments in plain English.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada or any part of the Government of Canada. The official Government of Canada immigration website is canada.ca/immigration.

What IRCC.com is not

To be unambiguous about scope, we do not:

• Review applications or supporting documents
• Tell anyone whether they qualify for a Canadian immigration program
• Recommend specific programs, streams, provinces, or pathways for individual cases
• Refer visitors to consultants, lawyers, or any other service provider
• Process forms, submit applications, or contact IRCC on anyone's behalf
• Provide legal advice, immigration advice, or any other professional advice
• Give opinions on the merits or chances of any individual case

For any of the above, contact a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), or a Canadian immigration lawyer in good standing with a provincial law society. You can verify a consultant via the CICC public registry.

What we cover

Our editorial scope spans every Canadian immigration topic the Government of Canada publishes about — Express Entry, all 11 Provincial Nominee Programs, Study Permits, Work Permits, Family Sponsorship, Citizenship, Refugee/Humanitarian, Quebec immigration, the Atlantic and Rural Pilots, IRCC forms, fees, processing times, and recent policy changes. We also operate a daily news desk covering Express Entry draws, PNP rounds, processing-time changes, and policy announcements.

How we work

• Source-first. Every factual claim links to its source on canada.ca, a provincial government site, or a court/tribunal decision. We never fabricate stats or invent guidance.
• Independent. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. Affiliate relationships, where they exist, are disclosed and never affect editorial content.
• Reviewed. Procedural and YMYL content is reviewed by named licensed practitioners (CICC RCICs or Canadian lawyers) before publication. They are credited as reviewers, not as IRCC.com staff representing readers.
• Updated. Immigration rules change frequently. We track canada.ca page updates and refresh affected content.

Editorial team

IRCC.com is operated by a small editorial team supported by AI-assisted drafting tools. All published content is reviewed by a human editor before going live, and procedural/YMYL content is additionally reviewed by licensed practitioners. See our editorial team page and our editorial policy for the full process.

How we're funded

IRCC.com is funded by display advertising, affiliate partnerships with reputable settlement-related businesses (banks, language-test providers, insurance companies), and reader contributions. Funding decisions never influence editorial coverage. Affiliate relationships are disclosed where they appear.
