We have reduced our reliance on consultants and are implementing a three-year reduction strategy launched in January 2024.
We have achieved 42% of our reduction target to date.
In the 2026–2027 Main Estimates, we plan to spend $1.277B on professional services.
This funding supports broader delivery solutions, not only consulting services.
More than 80% supports the Interim Federal Health Program, the Passport Program, digital modernization, and Visa Application Centres.
In 2025–2026, our largest professional services contract was with Accenture for the Digital Platform Modernization program.
Estimated expenditures exceeded $60M.
In 2025–2026, we awarded a $1.6M advertising campaign contract to promote Francophone economic immigration pathways to Canada through specific streams.
