Get a CBSA-issued carrier code
How to enrol

You must enrol for a bonded or non-bonded carrier code through the CARM Client Portal.

If you have a pre-existing carrier code, upon registration, you will be prompted to confirm that you have a program account (a carrier code).

Register your business

To register your business in the portal, you need a statement of account or daily notice, a business number (BN 9) and an RM account.

Resident businesses can get a BN9 and RM account while registering in the portal.

Non-resident businesses must apply for their BN9 before registering in the portal.
