AI SCREENINGS AT CANADA BORDER CROSSINGS

Foreign Nationals entering Canada are now subject to artificial intelligence screening at select land ports of entry.

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has introduced the Travel Compliance Indicator (TCI), a tool that assigns travelers a “compliance score” using predictive analytics to assist CBSA officers in making screening decisions.  

The TCI is part of a broader modernization plan by CBSA. The Traveller Compliance is an indicator, and does not replace officer judgement or automatically determine outcomes*

TCI is designed to assign compliance scores to everyone entering Canada and to flag “higher risk” travellers for further inspection.
