ENTRY-EXIT PROGRAM 
⁠
Did you know that IRCC is collecting entry and exit information for every traveller entering/exiting Canada by land or air? ⁠

IRCC will obtain accurate and objective entry and exit information from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to support the administration of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), the Citizenship Act and the Canadian Passport Order.

⁠Airlines will have to provide passenger data to the CBSA by November 2022 at the latest, so that in immigration applications the IRCC will automatically know if someone has previously overstayed.⁠
⁠
Entry and exit data can be used to identify whether a foreign national has previously exceeded their authorized period of stay in Canada.⁠
⁠
IRCC will obtain accurate and objective entry and exit information from the Canada Border Services Agency to:⁠
⁠
– verify residency requirements in support of applications for grants of citizenship (CIT) or permanent resident cards⁠
– verify if a temporary residence applicant may have previously overstayed⁠
– assist in an investigation of an individual’s entitlement to a Canadian travel document⁠
– verify that sponsors are residing in Canada⁠

– verify whether or not a refugee claimant entered Canada using their travel documents and⁠
– support investigations of possible fraud in relation to immigration, citizenship, and passport/travel document programs⁠
