Rachel Bendayan is a Canadian politician who served as the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship from March to May 2025. A member of the Liberal Party, Bendayan was elected to the House of Commons following a by-election on February 25, 2019, serving as the member of Parliament (MP) for Outremont.
Bendayan worked as a lawyer before entering politics. She ran in Outremont during the 2015 federal election, where she placed second to Thomas Mulcair, the leader of the Official Opposition and New Democratic Party (NDP). Following Mulcair's resignation as MP, a by-election was held in February 2019, where Bendayan flipped the seat for the Liberal Party. She was subsequently re-elected in the October general election, and in 2021.
