thread_title:  assessment 

message: The CBSA entry has been pathetically small forever. I've decided to try and build it up, but it's a pretty big job. In comparison to the  RCMP entry, this thing is laughable. But, considering that it is the second-biggest law enforcement agency in Canada, it needs to be better. 
I work for the CFIA, and am having a dickens of a time including the CFIA logo because of copyright issues.  How were you able to use the CBSA seal?  Did you need to get special permission?  NCL75 (talk) 12:42, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Building the CBSA page 

message: This section, in my opinion needs serious work.  The statistics quoted are out of date (end of 2003) and the end of the second paragraph hardly makes any sense:
"There are very few illegal immigrants who enter the country without first being admitted by the CBSA. The reason for this is that Canada is physically very difficult to get to, with the exception of crossing the Canada/U.S. border. As the U.S. is itself a prime destination for illegal immigrants, not many illegal immigrants then attempt to cross the border into Canada in the wild. This differs significantly from the illegal immigration patterns in the U.S., which stem from illegal border crossings."
I am not sure what this section should contain as the article is about the CBSA.  It might contain the role of CBSA in Canada's immigration process which is primary determination of admissibility at the port of entry as well as detention, and removal of inadmissible persons.  These duties were taken over from Citizenship and Immigration Candada. Gordon Bonnar 00:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I proposed a merge because the information on this page is too short and fits better within the CBSA article. --Cahk (talk) 05:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Is the Canada Border Services Agency the ONLY agency performing checks on Canadian borders? I was told (don't know how true it was) that the RCMP were doing checks on borders as well but mainly secondary ones.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.61.193 (talk) 13:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Border checks (ie. Passport/Cargo), etc are done by BSOs from CBSA. I don't think RCMP are involved unless there's a threat beyond what CBSA can handle.--Cahk (talk) 21:13, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  We need to check as I respoke to my friend and he was sure that his passport was checked by RCMP, he took secondary roads though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.61.193 (talk) 11:21, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Info about entry compliant issues.... 

message: I have flagged this article for NPOV issues because of its section headed "Recent successes".  The title of this section alone makes a value judgment on the operations it describes, and the absence of a corresponding section for recent "failures" seems biased.  This leaves at least some of this page looking like a self-congratulatory press release rather than a neutral article.  I'm not in a position to judge the notability of the events described in the "Recent successes" section, but if they are not particularly notable, then simply removing this section could probably solve the NPOV issue.  Otherwise the section may need to be retitled, reworded, and/or balanced with extra information on the agency's notable failures. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:42, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In the absence of any discussion on the matter in the last three months, I have boldly removed the section on "recent successes".  I did some rudimentary investigation and found that at least some of the material was posted in violation of copyright (i.e., copy-and-pasted directly from news wire releases).  The other material wasn't sourced at all, and I couldn't find third-party sources establishing its notability.  If anyone feels that this material should be restored it would be great if they could first provide citations. —Psychonaut (talk) 07:59, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians! I am considering creating images to go with the rank structure, as I'd like to reformat it as a table. However, as of now I can only make images for the ranks up until Chief of Operations, as I haven't been able to source out a clear image of the so-called "Gold CBSA Pins", nor the pips they use on their rank insignias. If anyone could/can help, or has ideas/thoughts on the matter, I'd appreciate it! Fhsig13 (talk) 02:29, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
