CBSA Canada Border Services Agency

government data show: The lists allow CBSA officers to decide whether any passengers need extra screening once they arrive at Canadian airports, according to CTV. But government data show that more than 3,000 flights over the last two years have failed to provide complete passenger information to the CBSA. That an average of 180 planes per month. Airlines are required by law to provide the Canada Border Services Agency with lists of all passengers’ names, birthdates and nationalities before flights depart for Canada. The passenger lists are often incomplete or altogether missing – offences that can land airlines $3,000 fines for each violation, but in reality almost always lead to warnings. The problem isn’t new. Only three such fines have been handed out since 2013. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
