Guidelines for PIP Security Profile

The following message is from the CBSA’s Partners in Protection Team.

The deadline to submit a completed Security Profile is fast approaching! The Profile takes time to complete, and we strongly encourage legacy members to begin completing it without delay to allow enough time to answer all questions thoroughly.

Reminder: All PIP members approved before June 30, 2008 must submit a completed Security Profile before midnight on December 31, 2008 to retain their PIP membership status and benefits until the CBSA has approved or denied their application. Failure to re-apply before the deadline will result in the cancellation of a company's PIP membership on January 01, 2009. As PIP membership is mandatory to participate in FAST into Canada, this will affect FAST privileges.

For your convenience, we are providing some tips and guidelines to assist you when completing the Security Profile. Please note that this is a DRAFT document and is not for public distribution. It will be available on the CBSA website when it is finalized.

The draft Guidelines & Glossary for the PIP Security Profile is available in both English and French on the CSCB website at: http://www.cscb.ca/listinfo/PIPguidelines_draft.pdf.

If you have not already received a Security Profile, you can request one by e-mail at [email protected]. Questions can also be directed to that email address.
