Cases / Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
Case study
How Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada actually buys
Case processing and settlement programs.
Competition is the norm. Only 16.5% of contracts skip competition — among the most contestable buyers in government. Proposal craft and pricing discipline decide outcomes here; incumbency protections are thin.
Award sizes suit small and mid-size firms: many contracts, fast cycles, and responsiveness beats depth in most of them.
