Border Services

Overview

The goal of the Border Services program is to provide students with a well-rounded education that prepares them to be knowledgeable, confident, and fully prepared candidates for a career in public safety.

The Border Services program provides foundational knowledge and experiential hands on-learning to individuals who aspire to work as Border Services Officers, Immigration Officers, or related fields in the public and private sectors.

During the first year, a broad theoretical foundation is provided on human relations, mental health, critical interpersonal, communication and team building skills and an overview of the criminal justice system. The second year focuses on courses specific to determining admissibility of persons, goods and conveyances into Canada, legislation, documentation and technology required to move goods and people across the border. In addition, students will acquire important communication skills, dispute resolution and critical thinking skills required as Canada’s first line of defense.

The second year focuses on more course specific content related to the facilitation and admissibility of goods and persons into Canada. Students will focus on the foundations and applications of the Customs Act, Immigration & Refugee Protection Act, Criminal Code of Canada, and the other various pieces of legislation and policies that pertain to the border environment through numerous experiential learning opportunities.

The goal of the Border Services program is to provide students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for not only a career in public safety but also as a foundation for continual educational pathways into related fields of study.
