In 2025, #CBSA protected communities, intercepted threats and disrupted criminal networks. We're strengthening the border. 2026 so far: over 17,500 kg drugs, 180 firearms, 3,790 weapons seized and 400 inadmissible people removed from Canada weekly.

One year ago, the federal government set out a plan with clear priorities: bring down costs, build one Canadian economy, protect our sovereignty, and strengthen partnerships with reliable partners. We’re making progress and staying focused on delivering for Canadians.

Today on #RemembranceDay, the #CBSA stands in silence to honour the ultimate sacrifices of Canada’s Veterans. We are profoundly grateful to those who served, including the many Veterans continuing their service within our ranks. Lest we forget.
