Canadian Immigration Biometric Identification System (CIBIDS)
B8986-180075/A
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) are jointly responsible for the delivery of Canada’s Immigration Program. In accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), IRCC and CBSA work together to manage the movement of people across and within Canada’s borders. Among the issues addressed by these departments are the deterrence of illegal migration, prevention of entry to Canada of persons identified under IRPA as inadmissible (e.g. immigration violators, criminals, people involved in war crimes or crimes against humanity, etc.), and detention and removal of inadmissible persons from Canada.
Due to a global rise in identity fraud and the use of ever more sophisticated means to evade detection, a key challenge in Canada’s immigration program is identifying applicants and managing their identity with confidence. Identity is at the heart of all decisions taken by IRCC abroad and by CBSA at ports of entry. These decisions form the first line of defence against individuals who pose a criminal or security threat to Canadian society and economic migrants who seek to take advantage of Canada’s high standard of living. Further, because these decisions are relied upon by other federal, provincial and territorial departments to grant documents and benefits such as health care, there are important downstream implications if identity is not established with confidence at the outset.
To address these challenges, IRCC announced that they would begin biometrics collection for the Temporary Resident Program in 2009. In early 2012, a contract was signed for the development of the Temporary Resident Biometrics Program (TRBP), the project that would become the Canadian Immigration Biometric Identification System (CIBIDS), and the first official fingerprints were enrolled in 2013. The project is now known as the Canadian Immigration Biometric Identification System (CIBIDS).
This procurement will replace the current contract(B8184-100130/001/XQ) which was awarded on February 3, 2012 and will expire on May 5, 2019.
