    History

    The Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration succeeded the Ministry of Citizenship upon the accession of the McGuinty government in October, 2003.

    The Ministry was organized into two main divisions: the Citizenship and Immigration Division and the Regional and Corporate Services Division. In addition, both the Ontario Women's Directorate and the Ontario Seniors Secretariat were a part of this ministry.

    The Office of the Fairness Commissioner, formed in 2007, also reported to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.

    In 2014 the Ministry assumed control of international trade activities and was renamed the Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade.
