Igor Gouzenko’s defection might have been the first—and most famous—of the Cold War in Canada, but it was hardly the last. Recently opened after Access to Information Act requests made by the Canadian Foreign Intelligence History Project, a number of records cast brighter light on this aspect of Canada’s intelligence history. This article offers an overview of how the Government of Canada established its policy to manage defection and those who defected. It offers a number of possible leads for future research projects, some, but not all, of which, will require the release of further material, whether under the Access to Information Act or a broader declassification framework from the Government of Canada.

Igor Gouzenko 的叛逃可能是加拿大冷战的第一次，也是最著名的一次，但这绝不是最后一次。最近在加拿大外国情报史项目提出《信息获取法》要求后开放，一些记录为加拿大情报史的这一方面提供了更清晰的信息。本文概述了加拿大政府如何制定管理叛逃者和叛逃者的政策。它为未来的研究项目提供了许多可能的线索，其中一些（但不是全部）需要发布更多材料，无论是根据《信息获取法》还是加拿大政府更广泛的解密框架。
