The Canadian bonded carrier is involved with the movement of goods.

The transportation of goods to an inland office preferably a CBSA office. The office should be inside the Canadian borders to allow for them to be released for shipping.

The transportation of goods that are in transit in the whole of Canada. The Canadian bonded couriers carry mainly those goods that are not destined for Canada but will pass through Canada.

They undergo a security assessment test to ensure they are secure. How to have a Canadian bonded courier:

They send some security that is in cash form to the CBSA. The amount is usually around twenty five thousand dollars. If you cannot get cash, checks are allowed but you will pay three hundred dollars as a surety bond.

Fill out a form that you will then forward to the operations officer.
