Insofar as Citizenship and Immigration is concerned, the information requested is as follows:
a) Physical security safeguards and measures as set out in the government security policy are applied based on the threat and risk assessment particular to each location within Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Each location must assess the specific threat and risks to establish the level of vulnerability and necessary additional safeguards to mitigate the risk. Threat and risk assessment form part of the risk management process and are completed on a one time requirement and reviewed on a regular basis or when circumstances are such that there is an increase threat.
b) Forms management is a key administrative function for CIC. There is an established reporting regime in place at both a local and national level to account for all controlled documents in CIC's inventory. In the event a document is stolen from a Canadian Immigration office, that document is accounted for through regular inventory reporting by the forms control officer of the office from which the document went missing. Should a forms control officer discover and confirm that a control document is missing, that officer immediately makes a record of all pertinent details. That record is then transmitted to the various branches, such as National Headquarters Corporate Security and Intelligence, equipped to deal with such an event. National Headquarters Intelligence then advises the immigration control officer network overseas, the ports of entry, and partners to look out for the document. Corporate Security undertakes the investigation in tandem with local officials in the region involved.
