Delegated authorities

A6 authorizes the Minister to designate officers to carry out specific duties and powers, and to delegate authorities.

Pursuant to A6(2), the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, has delegated powers and designated those officials authorized to carry out any purpose of any legislative or regulatory provision in IL 3 - Designation of Officers and Delegation of Authority. IL3 contains two designation and delegation instruments. One is made by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the other by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The health related delegation of authority is found in the CIC designation and delegation instrument.

The CIC designation and delegation instrument organizes delegated powers by sections. The duties and powers specific to health are found in the medical section.

The delegates and designated officers, specified in column 4 of each item are authorized to carry out the powers described in column 3 (refer to Items 5 through 10).
