Jul 23, 2019 – Canada and the US have begun implementation
of the third phase of the "Beyond the Border" security
agreement finalized by the two countries in 2011.
Aimed at facilitating easier trade and travel, the agreement
provides for sharing of information about individuals crossing the
border between the two countries.
In the first two phases, US and Canada began sharing information
about border crossings by
legal permanent residents and third-country nationals.
Now, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Canada
Border Services Agency will begin sharing biographic data, travel
documents, and other information related to border crossings of
American and Canadian citizens.
