IOM Assessed Contribution from the Government of Canada - 2026

Agreement Number:

I268772001

Agreement Value:

$465,293,486.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 1, 2026 - Dec 31, 2026

Description:

IOM is Member State led international organization with 174 members. Annual assessed contributions (membership fees), which are defined by the UN scale of assessment in consultation with Member States, provide Canada with the opportunity to participate in the organization's governance structure, directly influence the development of IOM programs and policies and shape the global migration agenda in ways that align with Canada’s values and priorities on migration and protection.

Organization:

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

Expected Results:

Canada's membership in the organization facilitates oversight and ensures the proper stewardship of Canadian migration and humanitarian related funding. Membership in the IOM permits participation in governance and decision-making bodies. Canada also provides funding to the IOM for services and projects, so IOM governance is important for stewardship. Membership also permits continued benefit from engagement with international experts and migration officials through participation in IOM meetings. These engagements further contributed to Canada's understanding of global migration dynamics and the evolving priorities on migration related challenges and opportunities faced by other countries and regions. These engagements also provide valuable insights into the latest trends in international migration which in turn helped inform IRCC’s approach to national policies and programs.

Additionally, to contribute to the efficiency of audit, evaluation and budget-setting practices in the IOM, IRCC has ongoing participation in the IOM Council and in the Standing Committee on Programmes and Finance, working groups, policy development meetings and Council.
