The Canadian Centre for Information on Missing Adults (CCIMA) is a bilingual online resource that acts as an information and referral centre for Canadian families and friends of missing individuals.

The goal of CCIMA is to provide Canadian families with useful and practical information to help them cope with the realities arising from having a missing adult loved one. To this end, CCIMA has created a series of fact sheets addressing issues and processes that need to be negotiated by families whose loved ones have disappeared. As well, existing guidebooks and information sheets have been included in the online resources to further aid families.

We also seek to provide professionals working with victims of crime and trauma with information and resources that will help them better serve families who report a missing adult. The website will also facilitate the development of relationships between law enforcement agencies, front line service providers, Internet volunteer groups, international agencies and Aboriginal groups in order to exchange information and make referrals to appropriate agencies.

Please note that the Canadian Centre for Information on Missing Adults (CCIMA) is an information and educational resource on the topic of missing adults in Canada. We do not provide direct support services to families, other than providing information and referrals, nor can we recommend or refer families to lawyers or private investigators.
