PIP Program

Carriers should be aware that June 30, 2008 CBSA will enact the modernized PIP program that will be recognized by the U.S. C-TPAT program. In other words there will be compatibility between the two programs – Canada and U.S.

Feedback on the Suspension/Cancellation Criteria is being requested by March 20, 2008.

We are reminded that all current PIP members must reapply under the new PIP program between June 30 and December 31, 2008 by completing and submitting the Security Profile. The revised Security Profile will be available on the PIP website by March 31, 2008.

 Carriers who apply before December 31, 2008 will retain their membership and benefits (i.e., FAST) until a site validation is completed and the application approved or denied. Members who do not apply before this deadline will see their membership cancelled.
