Addressing Threats Early

Addressing threats at the earliest possible point is essential to our shared security, and to facilitating legitimate trade and travel across the Canada-United States border. By developing a common understanding of the threat environment, Canada and the United States are aligning our security systems to effectively manage risks.

Integrated Cargo Security Strategy

Screening inbound cargo under the principle "cleared once, accepted twice" will result in increased security and expedited movement of secure cargo across the Canada-United States border.

Entry/Exit Information Systems

Coordinating entry and exit information systems will allow Canada and the United States to share information, so that the record of a land entry into one country may be used to establish an exit record from the other.

For more information, visit our Entry/Exit Initiative Web page.
