Access to Information
The Access to Information Act gives Canadian citizens, permanent residents, individuals present in Canada or corporations in Canada the right to request access to records that are under the control of federal government institutions. Subject to this Act, Destination Canada provides access to records under our control upon receiving a formal request for information, unless the records or portions thereof are exempted or excluded from disclosure.
The Privacy Act strictly governs how federal government institutions collect, use, store, disclose and dispose of any personal information and protects against unauthorized disclosure of that personal information. The Privacy Act also gives Canadian citizens, permanent residents or individuals present in Canada the right to request access to personal information held about them by federal government institutions.
