February 4, 2025
The Entry/Exit (E/E) Program instructions under “Collection and access to traveller data” have been updated. The following paragraph has been removed from the E/E Program instructions:
- The Customs Act currently allows the CBSA to collect land entry and exit data, and air entry data on all travellers. Regulatory amendments for exits by air came into force in June 2020. Under the IRCC–CBSA MOU, information sharing between both departments for the administration and enforcement of IRPA is considered consistent use, as per paragraph 8(2)(a) of the Privacy Act.
