Ensuring compliance through border control
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is committed to providing a smarter, more secure and efficient border. To achieve this goal, the CBSA relies on technology, information sharing, risk analysis and biometrics.
The CBSA is vigilant in its enforcement of the legislation that it administers. To ensure the free flow of legitimate people and goods, the CBSA monitors, investigates, detains and removes those people or goods in violation of the relevant laws.
With almost $2 billion daily in cross-border trade with the United States, keeping the trade system open is critical to ensuring Canada’s economic prosperity. It is equally critical to protect the border against potential threats to our health, security and economy.
