4. Pass Control Office Appointments

Appointments for the Pass Control Office can be scheduled online. There is also the option to attend as a walk-in (which may involve an extended wait).

Prior to attending Pass Control, it is essential that you know the following:

• Ensure a signing authority for your company has reviewed your TSC and/or RAIC application in detail to ensure it is complete, free of errors, and that you are in possession of all the required supporting documentation. Failing to do this will result in your application not being accepted by the Pass Control Office, and you will need to attend on another date/time when the application and/or supporting documentation is correct for submission to Transport Canada and HIAA.
• It is not the role of the Pass Control Office to help you complete your TSC or RAIC application. The responsibility for this lies with the signing authority for your company.

You must have read and understood all the sections above:

• Security Clearance
• Restricted Area Identification Card
• Vaccination Status (Requirement suspended as of June 20, 2022)
• Transportation Security Clearance
