Privacy and Information Use
Information provided to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is collected under the authority of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) for the purpose of determining admissibility to Canada. This information may be shared with other Canadian government institutions, including but not limited to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD), Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), provincial and territorial governments, and foreign governments, in accordance with subsection 8(2) of the Privacy Act.
Information may also be disclosed to or verified with foreign governments, law enforcement agencies, or detention authorities for the administration and enforcement of immigration legislation, provided such disclosure does not place the individual or their family at risk. Additionally, information may be validated by other Canadian government institutions for the purposes of identity and status verification in the administration of their programs.
Biometrics Information
Where biometrics are provided as part of an application, fingerprints collected will be stored and shared with the RCMP. These fingerprint records may also be disclosed to Canadian law enforcement agencies in accordance with subsection 13.11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. This information may be used to establish or verify identity for the prevention, investigation, or prosecution of offences under Canadian federal or provincial law, or in cases where an individual’s identity cannot reasonably be established due to physical or mental conditions. Canada may also share biometric-related immigration information with foreign governments with which it has agreements or arrangements.
