I don’t have live access to current news right now. I can share the latest I know and suggest how to verify quickly.
Direct answer
- As of early 2025, the minister in charge of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) was Lena Metlege Diab, appointed in 2025. If you’re asking for today’s latest, I recommend checking the official IRCC or Government of Canada site for the current minister name and any recent announcements.[3][4]
What to check for the latest
- Official minister profile on canada.ca or ircc.gc.ca (look for “Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada” and the current portfolio holder).
- Recent press releases from IRCC or the Prime Minister’s Office for cabinet changes or ministerial appointments.
- Reputable Canadian news outlets’ political desks (e.g., CBC, CTV) for any cabinet reshuffles or swearing-in news.
Why this matters
- Cabinet postings can change after elections or reshuffles, so the minister may differ from prior years. The official government pages are the most reliable source for the current name and any updates.[6][9][3]
Would you like me to fetch the current minister’s name and a quick summary of any recent announcements from official sources? If you share permission, I can guide you to the exact pages to confirm.[5][9]
