Security Clearance

If your employment requires you to have access to restricted areas of Halifax Stanfield International Airport, your employer will send you information to complete your transportation security clearance (TSC).

1. Canadian Airports Security Awareness Program

Prior to attending the Pass Control Office, you must successfully complete all three modules of the Canadian Airports Security Awareness Program (CASAP). The training can be accessed here: https://hiaa.sabacloud.com/

Follow the instructions to sign up (register) for the training. The training does not have to be completed in one session. Once registered, you can sign in as many times as you wish to complete all three modules (remember the password you registered with).

The first time you sign up (register), you will need the ‘security keyword,’ which you can get from your employer.

2. Restricted Area Identification Card

Use this RAIC Application Checklist when applying for a Halifax Stanfield RAIC.

Electronically complete the Halifax Stanfield RAIC application form, print it, and then have it approved by your company’s authorized signing authority:

Next Steps

Once completed, the Halifax Stanfield RAIC application – and all the original documentation to support your TSC – must be brought to the Pass Control Office to complete your application process.

Prior to attending Pass Control Office, it is essential that you know the following:

• Ensure the signing authority for your company has authorized your TSC, and approved and signed your Halifax Stanfield RAIC application. This will ensure it is complete, free of errors, and that you are in possession of all the required original supporting documentation. Failing to do this will result in your application not being accepted by the Pass Control Office, and you will need to attend on another date/time when the application and/or original supporting documentation is correct for submission to the Halifax Stanfield Pass Control Office and Transport Canada.
• It is not the role of the Pass Control Office to help you complete your TSC or Halifax Stanfield RAIC application. The responsibility for this lies with the signing authority for your company.
