Canada Advance Passenger Information/ Passenger Name Record Program

The purpose of this document is to share the technical requirements, specifications and procedures for the Interactive Advance Passenger Information (IAPI) initiative and Air Exit Program to enable commercial air carriers to review, plan, and implement system changes necessary in order to comply with IAPI and Air Exit.

The IAPI and Air Exit technical components builds off the existing Advance Passenger Information / Passenger Name Record (API/PNR) Program, which requires all commercial air carriers flying into Canada to comply with the requirement to provide flight and traveller (including passenger and crew member) data to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
