A secure border helps keep the population safe from various criminal threats while allowing for the legal movement of people and goods across the border. In December 2024, the Government of Canada announced a plan to strengthen the country’s border security and immigration system. This Border Plan, bolstered by an investment of $1.3 billion, was expanded in February 2025 with the announcement of additional measures to better combat fentanyl trafficking, organized crime and money laundering.
