On April 17, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced key modifications to its Instrument of Designation and Delegation (IDD), which took effect on March 11, 2025. The amendments broaden the scope of officers’ authority regarding the cancellation of temporary immigration documents, establish senior-level oversight for approvals of super visa health insurance policies, and introduce new delegated responsibilities within the International Student Program framework. These strategic adjustments align with current regulatory modifications for designated learning institutions, while supporting the department’s initiative to optimize operational processes.
