New PIP “Security Profile” Delayed

Under modernization changes to the CBSA Partners in Protection (PIP) program the current Security Questionnaire is being replaced by an industry-specific Security Profile that all participants will need to complete.

The CBSA had indicated several months ago that the Security Profile would be provided online so that companies could get a head-start in meeting new security requirements. However, the CBSA now advises that posting of the Security Profile online has been temporarily delayed but will soon be available.

Program changes are still scheduled to take effect on June 30, 2008. On this date, the CBSA will begin to accept applications under the modernized program.
