National President Of The Canadian Union Of Customs And Immigration: Employee

The survey, which is voluntary, based on your desire to pursue a career with the CBSA, is titled the Integrity Questionnaire. It asks everything from whether or not an employee or potential employee has used crack, heroin or mescaline or been treated for alcoholism or substance abuse and the Customs and Immigration Union is asking its members not to fill out a Canada Border Service Agency questionnaire that it describes as intrusive until it gets clarification on its legal status. It s shocking and surprising to see how intrusive these questions are, said Fortin in an interview with . What will be next a lie-detector test? How far are they going to go?
