This paper examines the relationship between Canada, a leading immigration country often viewed as a model for well-managed migration, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which provides migration-related services. Despite increased awareness of the IOM’s role in migration politics, there is still a research gap regarding how countries assess their partnership with the IOM. This article uses publicly available evaluations from Citizenship and Immigration Canada to highlight the complex and ambivalent collaboration between Canada and the IOM. It discusses the specifics of “migration management” and the broader changes in global migration governance reflected in Canada’s partnership with the IOM.
