History
In 1980, the Multicultural Development Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation was renamed the Citizenship Services Branch and, in 1981, the Citizenship Development Branch. The branch formed part of the Citizenship Division, and later the Multiculturalism and Citizenship Division. In 1982, it was moved to the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture.
In the fall of 1986, the Citizenship Development Branch absorbed the services of the Newcomer Services Branch, which ceased to exist. In 1987, the Citizenship Development Branch moved to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Citizenship.
The branch ceased to exist in 1994 when its functions were broken up into other areas of the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship.
