This bulletin will be of interest to companies that have personnel travelling by air for business purposes. It outlines new procedures at Canadian airports that have been adopted due to the recent terrorist plot discovered in the United Kingdom. Similar procedures have been adopted at airports outside Canada. Personnel should be made aware of the new security measures as these measures may cause significant delays at airports and ports of entry and increase the time required to clear customs. If you have any questions, please contact our immigration practice group for further assistance.

Cleared For Investment: Canada Opens The Door To Private Capital At Its Largest Airports

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced plans to seek private investment through long-term concessions to operate Canada's four largest airports: Toronto Pearson, Vancouver, Montréal-Trudeau and Calgary.

Understanding Canada’s new "Productivity Mega Deduction": Broad-based, immediate, and permanent expensing
