About this event
English Version
*** La version française suit ***
The Canada Border Services Agency is the first line of defence when travellers visit, newcomers arrive, and residents return home. We intercept contraband, and inadmissible people at ports of entry across Canada. We safeguard our economic prosperity by promoting fair trade and commerce and we protect our food safety, plant and animal health.
Our workforce is made up of 14,000 employees, including more than 7,700 uniformed officers who work at 1,100 points of service across Canada and in 37 international locations.
The variety of work environments, day-to-day-duties, and opportunities to apply and enforce many Acts, laws and regulations that touch nearly every sector of Canadian society are what set us apart. Our workplace is built on respect, integrity and professionalism. That’s why it’s important that we hire people who share our core values and are committed to the vital work we do.

L’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada est la première ligne de défense lors de la visite des voyageurs, de l’arrivée des nouveaux arrivants et du retour des résidents. Nous interceptons la contrebande et les personnes interdites de territoire aux points d’entrée du Canada. Nous préservons notre prospérité économique en favorisant le commerce équitable et nous protégeons notre sécurité alimentaire et la santé des plantes et des animaux.
Notre effectif est composé de 14 000 employés, dont plus de 7 700 agents en uniforme qui travaillent dans 1 100 points de service au Canada et 37 bureaux à l’étranger.
La diversité des milieux de travail et des tâches quotidiennes et les occasions d’appliquer et de faire respecter des lois et des règlements qui touchent presque tous les secteurs de la société canadienne – voilà ce qui nous distingue. Notre milieu de travail se fonde sur le respect, l’intégrité et le professionnalisme. C’est pourquoi il est important que nous embauchions des gens qui partagent nos valeurs fondamentales et qui ont à cœur le travail essentiel que nous accomplissons.
