Your privacy at the border

Are you heading out of town this weekend and plan to cross the border? Then our new Electronic Devices Privacy Handbook has some important tips for your travel!

Download Handbook

When you slip your smart phone into your pocket or laptop into your bag, it is easy to forget the volume of information you’re carrying with you.

For many, it is an entire library – years of correspondence, business records, personal conversations, photos, web surfing history, and reading habits – all stored on one device.

The idea of someone digging through all that information and deciding if you should be allowed to come into Canada or not seems implausible, but that is exactly what happens when the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) searches electronic devices at the border.

With this helpful guide, you will be as ready as you can be for your next border crossing.

Download the guide here, and check out some top tips in the videos below

If you have questions about your privacy rights at the border, join us for a Twitter Townhall at 12 pm (PT) today! Tweet us your questions @bccla.

Travel safe, everyone!

Sincerely,

Meghan McDermott
