The Canada Advance CBSA Declaration is an electronic customs and immigration declaration.
It is regarded as a convenient modern upgrade to the old paper customs forms.
Passengers arriving in Canada by plane must complete a declaration for customs and immigration and present this to a border control officer.
The form includes questions about items you are bringing into Canada. You must declare any goods that are not covered in traveler exemptions.
You must also provide details about your journey to Canada and your stay in the country.
The Advance CBSA Declaration allows you to provide this information online before the trip.
This saves time filling out paperwork at the Canadian border.
All air passengers must complete a Canada customs form, regardless of nationality or purpose of visit.
Each CBSA declaration is valid for a single entry. You must complete a new declaration each time you fly to Canada.
