Canada Border Services and Government Website

: When I arrive at the border and a Canada Border Services agent starts typing into his computer, what is it he recording about me To find out, I requested my entire file, as I’m entitled to do under the federal Privacy Act, according to Toronto Star. More specifically, I requested Travel history, file numbers, time periods, notes or records from border agents. First in a series on what can be learned from requesting personal records from the government. The request took about three minutes to make on a government website that allows you to seek records from most federal agencies. Folded together neatly inside was a cover letter, a record of my trips across the border, and an explanation of the information about the trips. Three weeks later, a letter-sized envelope arrived in the mail from the Canada Border Services Agency. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
