First Point of Arrival Examinations occur when a conveyance, such as a ship, aircraft, or train, arrives at a Canadian port of entry. During this examination, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) assesses the risk of the conveyance and its cargo and determines whether any further action is required, such as a secondary examination or release of the shipment. The purpose of the First Point of Arrival Examination is to facilitate the smooth and efficient flow of goods into Canada while ensuring compliance with Canadian laws and regulations.
