History
The Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade succeeded the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration in August 2014 when the ministry assumed responsibility for international trade from the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment.
The Ministry was organized into three main divisions: the Citizenship and Immigration Division, the Regional and Corporate Services Division, and the International Trade and Marketing Division. In addition, both the Ontario Women's Directorate and the Ontario Seniors Secretariat were part of this ministry.
The Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade ceased to exist in June of 2016 when responsibility for issues related to international trade were assumed by the newly created Ministry of International Trade. The ministry was renamed the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration at this time and retained its previous functions.
