Modernized PIP Program

(CBSA)

As you know, the modernized PIP program was successfully launched on June 30th, 2008, following the signing of a mutual recognition arrangement between the PIP and C-TPAT programs.

All legacy members 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.

We encourage legacy members to begin completing the Security Profile as soon as possible, allowing enough time to answer all questions thoroughly. Applications with insufficient information may be rejected.

If you have not already received a Security Profile, you can request one by sending an email to PIP-PEP@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca.

More information is available at the CBSA’s PIP website.
