(a) Flights from Canada to the United States U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires private aircraft pilots or their designees arriving in the U.S. from a foreign location, or departing the U.S. for a foreign location, to transmit electronically to CBP passenger manifest information for each individual travelling on board the aircraft. The CBP requires private aircraft pilots or their designees to provide additional data elements when submitting a notice of arrival and also requires them to submit a notice of departure. Private aircraft pilots or their designees are required to submit the notice of arrival and notice of departure information to CBP in the same transmission as the corresponding arrival or departure passenger manifest information via the Electronic Advance Passenger Information System (eAPIS) or an approved alternate system. Data must be received by CBP no later than 60min before an arriving private aircraft departs from a foreign location destined for the U.S. and no later than 60min before a private aircraft departs a U.S. airport or location for a foreign place. ADCUS and CANPASS notifications are no longer accepted on flight plans for transborder flights departing from Canada to the U.S. Private pilots or their designees are required to set up an eAPIS account at least five days prior to their first transborder flight. For additional information, consult the CBP web site at <www.cbp.gov>. The publication U.S. Customs and Border Protection Guide for Private Flyers outlines special arrangements and restrictions applicable to U.S. airports. This publication is available online at the following address <www.cbp.gov/ xp/cgov/travel/pleasure_boats/private_ flyers>. (b) Flights from the United States to Canada Pilots must land at a Canada Border Services Agency(CBSA) authorized AOE. The CBSA does not require citizenship information on flight plans. Aerodromes that are designated as AOEs with customs services available are indicated in the Aerodrome/Facility Directory of the CFS or the CWAS. ADCUS notification is no longer accepted on flight plans for transborder flights departing the U.S. to Canada, and pilots must make their own customs arrangements by calling 18882267277 at least 2hr, but not more than 48 hr, prior to arrival in Canada (see FAL 2.3.3). Pilots must call 18882267277 again to report any change in the ETA, point of arrival or other information. If a customs officer is not there to meet the aircraft when it arrives, the pilot must call 18882267277 again. An officer at the reporting centre will advise what to do at that time. No one is permitted to exit the aircraft until authorization is given by customs, except the pilot making the phone call. Pilots are also cautioned that for flight arrivals outside of the established
hours of operation, the provision of customs services may not always be available. Where available, call-out charges may be levied.
FAL

At least two hours, but not more than 48hours before flying into Canada they must call 1 888 CANPASS (equates to 1 888 226 - 7277). For flights commencing outside the geographical areas covered under the 1 888-CANPASS number, refer to the Customs Section of the CFS for appropriate telephone numbers. If the aircraft lands at a site not designated as a customs AOE due to weather conditions or other emergency, the pilot shall call 1888226-7277 or the nearest RCMP office as soon aspossible. Medevacs should enter Canada via a staffed AOE or AOE/15 within the hours of operations listed in the CFS. All arrangements for custom clearance should be done through the Customs Telephone Reporting Centre (1888226-7277) at least two hours prior to landing. (a) Permit holders: (i) must contact 1888226-7277, at least twohours, but not more than 48hours before entering Canada. (ii) can arrive at any approved AOE during airport hours of operation. (NOTE: Most municipally owned airports and some privately owned publicuse airports may qualify if located within 100km of Customs service.) (iii) must inform the Customs officer of the ETA, airport of destination, CANPASSPrivate Aircraft permit number, full name, birth date, citizenship and purpose and length of stay in Canada for travellers who are not returning residents. 351
