Military and strategic goods and technology

The Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA) governs Canada’s system of export and import controls for military and strategic goods and technology.

Section 3 of the EIPA gives the Government the power to establish an Export Control List (ECL) to control the export of arms, ammunition, implements or munitions of war or articles of a strategic nature. Canada’s ECL is based principally on our participation in the major multilateral export control and non-proliferation regimes. Responsibility for the issuance or denial of export permits for military and strategic items on the ECL lies with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Final report: Review of export permits to Türkiye

In October 2019, following Türkiye’s military incursion into northeastern Syria, the issuance of all new export permits to Türkiye was temporarily suspended. This decision was based on Canada’s concern that Türkiye’s military incursion could further destabilize the region, worsen the humanitarian situation, and roll back progress in the fight against Daesh. The suspension did not affect valid export permits, and Canadian companies holding valid permits were able to continue exporting to Türkiye.

International Import Certificates

The International Import Certificate is an end-use assurance document that formally recognizes that the Government of Canada is aware of, and has no immediate objections to, the proposed import of specific goods to Canada by the stated importer, for the stated end-use and end-user. A Canadian-issued International Import Certificate may be required by an exporting country prior to that country authorizing an export permit/license. Canadian International Import Certificates are issued to Canadian applicants, who in turn provide a copy to their foreign suppliers, who use the International Import Certificates to obtain a foreign export permit. The International Import Certificate is used by the export control authorities of the exporting state in their export permit/license issuance process. Once approved, the International Import Certificate is valid for use only if presented to the authorities of the exporting state within six months of its issuance by Canada.

2020 Land Cover of Canada

Land cover information is essential for a wide range of environmental applications, including climate impact assessment and adaptation, emergency response, and wildlife habitat monitoring. In Canada, a 2008 user survey identified that the most practical format for land cover data is a nationwide map with a 30 m spatial resolution, updated every five years. To meet this need, the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) has been producing 30 m resolution land cover maps since 2010, with updates released in 2015 and 2020. These datasets also serve as Canada’s contribution to the 30 m Land Cover Map of North America, developed collaboratively by government agencies in Mexico, the United States, and Canada through the North American Land Change Monitoring System (NALCMS). The classification system used in these maps is designed for consistency across North America. It follows a two-level hierarchy based on the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Land Cover Classification System (LCCS), consisting of 12 classes at Level I and 19 classes at Level II. Of the 19 Level II classes, 15 are applicable to Canada and are included in the national land cover dataset. Tropical vegetation classes (specifically classes 3, 4, 7, and 9) are either absent or occur only minimally in Canada and are therefore excluded from the national dataset. Canada’s land cover maps are generated using observations from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) Landsat sensor. An accuracy assessment based on 832 randomly distributed samples indicates that the latest dataset achieves 86.9% overall accuracy, with no marked spatial inconsistencies.

HMS Erebus Underwater Archaeological Survey 2017

This research bulletin presents the results of archaeological fieldwork conducted by Parks Canada’s Underwater Archaeology Team at the wreck of HMS Erebus in August-September 2017. The project’s objective was to continue to map the site’s features and artifacts, as well as to document the wreck through remotely operated vehicle surveys, photography and video. The project was greatly shortened as Parks Canada’s research vessel David Thompson and diving and excavation support barge Qiniqtiryuaq could not be deployed to the Arctic. The team therefore operated from a campsite on nearby Hauniqtalik Island, and diving activities were staged from two inflatable boats. Ultimately, three dives were conducted; new artifacts were identified and photographed on the lower deck. Site inspections revealed minimal change to the hull structure since the previous visit in 2016.
