Ted Gallivan, who is currently serving as interim deputy national security and intelligence advisor to the prime minister, will assume the role and will replace Dr. Harpreet S. Kochhar, who has led Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada since January 2024.\n\nDeputy ministers are senior public servants who wield substantial influence over national policy in Canada.
