Commercial and Trade Industry Forum
The Commercial and Trade Industry Forum (CTIF) connects the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) with industry stakeholders and government partners. We use this forum to engage with commercial and trade industry leaders early and often about policies, programs or systems that impact businesses.
Our mandate
The CBSA is committed to working with stakeholders on its plans and priorities, operational programs, business systems and administrative procedures. By joining the forum, members help us find practical ways to make the border more secure and efficient.

Membership is open to all associations and enterprises located in Canada. As a member, you can:
- Attend meetings

The Consultative Board
