About

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) ensures the security and prosperity of Canada by managing the access of people and goods to and from Canada.

Providing an essential service to Canadians, we are responsible for managing, controlling and securing Canada's borders to:

* ensure that all people coming into Canada are admissible and comply with Canadian laws and regulations;

* process all commercial shipments that cross our ports of entry to ensure that Canada's border laws and regulations are adhered to, that no illegal goods enter or leave the country, and that related trade statistics are accurate;

* make sure all applicable duties and taxes are paid;

* ensure food safety and plant and animal health, by identifying and interdicting high-risk regulated commodities arriving at our air, land and sea ports;

* detain those who may pose a threat to Canada;

* remove people who have been determined inadmissible to our country, including those involved in war crimes or crimes against humanity; and

* assist in combating money laundering.

 

With a workforce of approximately 12,000 public servants, CBSA provides services at approximately 1,200 points across Canada and 39 locations abroad. We administer more than 90 acts and regulations on behalf of other federal departments and agencies, and international agreements.
