Securing the border

Report border-related criminal activity

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. We do this by putting in place programs and services to: ensure trade security, manage access to Canada and work together with business and other government organizations.

Managing access to Canada

The CBSA continually works on new ways to protect the safety of all Canadians and facilitate the flow of legitimate travellers and goods in and out of Canada.

Working together

Canada works proactively to establish and maintain strong working relationships with governments, organizations and communities that foster an open dialogue for information sharing and risk management.
