Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of reports, correspondence and memoranda concerning illegal immigration in general, criminal organizations, fraudulent travel documents, and cooperation with law enforcement agencies, other government departments, private organizations, and businesses. These files are from 200, 300, 400 and 700 blocks of a special file series prefixed by "IH". They are therefore not a part of Employment and Immigration's central registry file system. All RCMP "Secret" correspondence, specific RCMP reports, and all "Top Secret" documents have been removed from files by the Intelligence Division before transfer to the National Archives and destroyed.
