What it does

The Intelligence Collection and Analysis program collects, interprets, and analyzes information and intelligence to produce border-related intelligence on people, goods and/or conveyances that may be inadmissible or pose a threat to the security of Canada, as well as on other border threats. Through this Program, the CBSA provides timely, accurate, and actionable intelligence at all levels (strategic, operational and tactical) to support Government of Canada activities and priorities, and in cooperation with other domestic and international law enforcement organizations. Intelligence portfolios include border related threats to national security, including information on terrorism, weapons proliferation, war crimes, organized crime, smuggling, immigration fraud and irregular migration, fraudulent documentation, and border enforcement. Intelligence products such as threat assessments, lookouts, alerts, scientific reports, and strategic intelligence assessments, inform, support and enhance the Agency's screening and targeting capabilities and other CBSA programs (such as Traveller Admissibility, Commercial Compliance, Criminal Investigations and Immigration Enforcement).
