About

The Forum of Ministers Responsible for Immigration (FMRI) has decision-making tables at the Ministerial, Deputy Ministerial (DM), Assistant Deputy Ministerial (ADM) and Director General (DG)/ Executive Director (ED) levels. The members of these tables make decisions that establish and shape the shared strategic objectives and related outcomes identified in the Strategic Plan for Immigration (SPI). Each of these tables are permanent, and all major decisions and products developed by these tables are determined by member jurisdictions. Note: Quebec is an observer / non-member at each of the aforementioned tables by choice.

The Provincial-Territorial (PT) Immigration Secretariat facilitates multilateral collaboration and communication among PT ministries responsible for immigration, organizes Ministerial, Deputy Minister (DM) and Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) meetings, provides support to all the immigration working groups and tables, as well as strategic policy analysis and development related to immigration issues. The PT co-chair for 2023-2026 is Saskatchewan.
