Consultation on expanding security clearances at Canadian ports

The Government of Canada announced a public consultation to gather feedback on expanding security screening requirements at Canada’s ports.

Currently, only individuals with specific occupations and those requiring access to highly restricted areas at Canada’s ports are required to hold a Transportation Security Clearance.

The consultation will explore strengthening security with more background security checks at Canadian ports and marine facilities.

These proposed changes would enhance security. Consultations will be open until March 31, 2025.
