College Diploma - Border Services (B961)

The Border Services diploma program provides students with a strong foundation in customs, immigration, and food inspection operations. Through applied learning, students become familiar with the legislation, procedures, and documentation required to facilitate the lawful movement of people and goods across international borders. The curriculum also emphasizes communication, dispute resolution, and critical thinking skills, preparing graduates for diverse roles in government agencies and industries connected to border and trade services. Students learn through a combination of role‑playing, simulations, and hands‑on activities, applying their knowledge to real‑world scenarios that integrate material from core courses such as: • Border Service and Immigration

• Brokerage Operations

• Food, Plant, and Animal Import Requirements

• Counterfeit Documents and Fraud Detection

• Investigation, Interviewing, and Evidence

• Criminal Code and Federal Statutes

The Control and Defensive Techniques course introduces the legal framework surrounding the use of force, helping students understand authority limits and how to clearly articulate decisions made in enforcement situations. In Extremism & Fundamentalism in Canadian Society, students explore the complexity of political and religious extremism through an integrated, interdisciplinary approach, gaining insight into the broader societal context of border security and law enforcement.
