Important Security Notice
Canada's Passenger Protect Program (PPP) is an aviation security program that prevents individuals from travelling by air if they pose a threat to transportation security or intend to travel by air for the purpose of terrorism. The Secure Air Travel Act (SATA) provides the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness (or their delegate) with the authority to place an individual on the SATA List and to issue directions to subject that individual to additional security screening or to prevent them from boarding a plane.
Required Information
The PPP requires any person travelling by air to, from, and/or within Canada to provide their full name, date of birth, and gender for the purpose of screening against the SATA List. Passengers who have a Canadian Travel Number may provide it at the time of reservation to facilitate the verification of their identity during the screening process with the Government of Canada.
Public Safety Canada is authorised to collect this information under SATA subsection 6(2) and to use it to screen against the SATA List. An individual's failure to provide their full name and date of birth may result in denial of transport or denial of authority to enter the boarding area.
When a traveller's personal information is shared with Public Safety Canada, it is managed and administered in accordance with the Privacy Act and any other applicable laws. Public Safety Canada may share information travellers provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies in order to fulfil their legislative requirements.
