Division 34

In order to access the PAXIS system, officers will be required to use two separate logins, using a system-generated user ID and password. The first login will provide access to the CBSA’s Local Area Network, while the second will provide access to the Integrated Customs System platform, which in turn provides access to the PAXIS application. Access to the CBSA network and any data contained in the PAXIS system will be strictly controlled and restricted to the selected user group, and every query and review of passenger data in the system will be audited. The audit record generated will contain the user name, the work location of the user, the date and time of access and the PNR file locator number for the information accessed. The CBSA will also restrict access to particular API and PNR data elements within the system on a ‘need to know’ (user type/profile basis). These access controls will ensure that access to API and PNR information is provided only to the persons described in section 33, for the purposes set out in section 2.
