Where did u explain cbsa? It says report goes from csis to ircc but actually cbsa is in the middle.
The information provided here is voluntary information. IRCC does not publish how applications are processed and which agency processes them in what order. This has been complied based on available information. If you have any additional information, then add instead of questioning others on why they have not provided something.
CBSA through the National Security Screening Division (NSSD) of the International Operations Directorate of CBSA conducts security screening in the context of applications for temporary residence visas, applications for permanent residence visas and claims for refugee protection. In this context only, NSSD provides recommendations on
admissibility on
national security cases related to section(s) 34, 35 and/or 37 of IRPA. Further, CBSA has the sole prerogative of deciding admissibility on criminality, especially for applicants who have committed a criminal offence or have been known to be involved in organized crime.
While Security screening for prospective immigrants have to run through CSIS, it is run though CBSA, when IRCC suspects that an applicant may be inadmissible.
Further, Operating Procedures published in 2015, i.e. after EE, categorically state, "When sending a case for security screening [to CBSA], officers should include as much information as possible, including details on adverse information." Available <

This is why I did not refer to CBSA. Further, CBSA working through NSSD, whose procedure manuals are not published, it is difficult to determine how they operate.
Alos, for the National Security inadmissibility is a cluster of 9 agencies, to which inputs are provided by CSIS and any one, or a few or all of them can be asked to look into a specific case.
National Security Inadmissibility Initiative is defined by the combined activities of the following nine federal partners:
- Public Safety Canada (PS)
- Justice Canada (JUS)
- Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
- Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)
- Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
- Department of Global Affairs Canada (GAC)
- Courts Administration Services (CAS)
- Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB)
- Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Information from all of them can be obtained from ATIP.
I am not here to write a new manual for IRCC, rather to briefly summarize, which are easy to understand.
This is my last response to you, since you know all.
All the best!
