GLOBAL CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Description
The Global Case Management System (GCMS) is a multi-year program that will replace several aging, archaic and incompatible core business systems of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) some of which are 30 years old, supporting over 240 points of service across Canada and around the world. It is an integrated, case-management-based set of applications and infrastructure components that will support the client operations of CIC and the CBSA.
Once in place, the GCMS will improve overall program integrity, effectiveness and client-service delivery. It will also facilitate communications and data sharing between CIC and the CBSA and with our other partners for the purposes of the administration of the IRPA. In addition, the GCMS will provide the technological foundation to support new business initiatives and capitalize on innovative technology by replacing outdated systems that are extremely difficult to support and maintain.

Progress Report and Explanation of Variances
- Preliminary project approval was obtained from Treasury Board on March 1, 2001, with a planned cost of $194.8 million.
- Effective Project Approval (EPA) was obtained from Treasury Board on January 31, 2002, with a planned cost of $194.8 million and a completion date of March 31, 2005.
- Shortly after the preliminary project approval, a decision was made to acquire and configure a commercial client relationship management software package rather than custom develop the functionality required for the GCMS. This necessitated a lengthy competitive procurement process that began in March 2001, with an expected completion date of July 1, 2002. Cumulative procurement and contracting delays beyond CIC control, totalling nine months, prevented the contract from being awarded until March 26, 2003. This delay affected activities and resources highly dependent on the outcome of the procurement process. While the project took steps to mitigate the impact of the delay, the cost of the delay was assessed at $7.8 million.
- Approval of an amended EPA was obtained from Treasury Board on October 9, 2003. In recognition of the impact of the procurement delay, Treasury Board increased the project spending authority by $7.8 million to $202.6 million. Subsequent implementation plans addressed the impact of the procurement delay and adjusted the overall project completion date to December 31, 2005.
- The transfer of certain CIC functions to the newly created Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) beginning in December 2003, as well as lessons learned from the first GCMS deployment in September 2004, necessitated further adjustments to the GCMS project plan. These changes formed the basis of a second amendment to the EPA, granted by Treasury Board in September 2005, and resulted in a net increase of $40.2 million to the project budget over two additional fiscal years, for a total budget of $242.8 million between fiscal years 2000–2001 and 2007–2008. The increase includes approved new functionalities related to security that were not in the original project ($6.2 million) and a $16.3 million contingency ( only $5.7 million of this contingency had been allocated as of January 2006). Despite significant schedule adjustments, the forecast variance over original project objectives, excluding the procurement delay, funded scope changes, and contingency, is about 10 percent.
- In preparing for the September 2005 amended EPA, the Treasury Board Secretariat requested that a System under Development Audit (SUD) be performed on the GCMS. Preliminary audit findings were available at the time of the amended EPA submission, and final SUD audit results were released in November 2005. The SUD suggested that the project management team bring more discipline in some project management elements. All the SUD audit recommendations have been accepted and corrective actions have been taken. As part of the amended EPA, the current implementation schedule has been extended to reflect the time required to finalize business requirements, to complete the functional design, to configure and test the application, to incorporate the approved functional scope enhancements, and to complete the overseas rollout in a series of staged deployments to minimize operational disruption.
- The implementation of the GCMS has to be done properly. In that regard, CIC and CBSA are currently reconsidering implementation options as a result of an independent review conducted in December 2006. The review recommended that the project take the time to conduct a project quality verification and options analysis. This work is expected to be complete in the spring of 2007. CIC and CBSA will then propose a revised implementation plan to ensure a successful completion of the GCMS and the safest possible implementation worldwide.
Industrial Benefits
- The GCMS is an administrative system for delivering on the CIC and CBSA Immigration, Citizenship and Enforcement mandates and ensuring operational service effectiveness.

Explanation of change: Planned spending for 2007–2008 increases by $212M over 2006–2007 and includes new resources of $102M for the Canada-Ontario Immigration Agreement, $74M for the extension of Settlement services nationally, $28M for increased costs under the Canada-Quebec Accord and $20M for additional Settlement funding. These increases were partially offset by sunsetting funding of integration costs related to the processing of parents and grandparents totalling $12M.
2008–2009 planned spending rises by $146M over the previous year, primarily due to increased funding of $111M for the Canada-Ontario Immigration Agreement, $25M for additional Settlement funding and escalation of the Canada-Quebec Accord by $13M, slightly offset by the sunsetting of $3M of funding for the extension of Settlement services nationally.
In 2009–2010 planned spending rises by $48M over the previous year, primarily due to additional Settlement funding.
Annex 12 – Horizontal Initiatives
Horizontal Initiative - Resettlement Assistance Program |
||||
|
Horizontal Initiative: Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) |
Lead Department(s): Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) |
|||
|
Start Date:1998 |
End Date:Terms and conditions must be renewed by March 31, 2010. |
|||
|
Total Funding Allocated: $49.6M |
||||
|
Description: The RAP provides income support and a range of other services to government-assisted refugees (GARs) who arrive in Canada following an overseas identification and selection process. Under RAP, income support is provided to GARs for up to 12 months and up to 24 months for those with special needs. Income support amounts are set in line with provincial social assistance rates. Service provider organizations (SPOs) deliver, on behalf of CIC, various settlement and orientation services to GARs within their first 4 to 6 weeks in Canada. These services range from initial reception at the airport to finding permanent accommodation. RAP falls under two of CIC's three strategic outcomes: Reflection of Canadian Values and Interests in the Management of International Migration, including Refugee Protection, as well as Successful Integration of Newcomers and Promotion of Canadian Citizenship. Through this program, Canada welcomes and provides direct financial support to more refugees than any nation other than the United States of America. Further information is available at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/resettle-menu.html. |
||||
|
Shared Outcome(s): The strategic outcome for RAP is to ensure that GARs are sufficiently supported in their adaptation, integration and settlement in Canada. This can best be achieved by coordinating and harmonizing the delivery of refugee delivery programs in order to ensure the seamless delivery of services, promoting a comprehensive client centred approach to the integration of refugees, and continuing to develop the evidentiary base on GARs through research, evaluation and consultation. Multi-faceted partnerships need to be continually developed and strengthened at the intra-departmental, inter-departmental, private sponsor, community, provincial, municipal, private sector and service provider/non-governmental levels to ensure that this strategic outcome is achieved. |
||||
|
Governance Structure(s): The federal partner (CIC) is governed by Treasury Board approved terms and conditions and financial directives, the Financial Administration Act, the RAP Operations Manual, and the Contribution Accountability Framework (CAF), which is currently being implemented in stages. The CAF ensures the accountability of settlement expenditures through the monitoring of service delivery and the evaluation of program effectiveness. Information collected will also be used to identify program changes that will enhance the capacity of newcomers to integrate into Canadian society. There are five key elements in the CAF: performance measurement, evaluation, contribution agreement process, management control (where applicable, under an agreement), and provincial-territorial accountability. Service provider organizations are governed by contribution agreements entered into with CIC. Sponsorship Agreement Holders who undertake to support GARs through the Joint Assistance Sponsorship (JAS) program are governed by: the terms of the master Sponsorship Agreement with CIC and individual sponsorship undertakings signed by the organization. Quebec 's role in providing support to GARs is governed by the Canada-Quebec Accord. |
