The federal government has ratified the collective agreement for FB group members working at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The agreement will be signed by both parties in the coming days.

After a nationwide ratification vote, the agreement was ratified by PSAC members on July 4, 2024.

The four-year agreement expires June 2026 and includes a wage increase that exceeds recent increases to other Canadian law enforcement agencies, enhanced protections relative to technological changes, and better provisions for shift scheduling and leave.

Once signed, all non-monetary terms of the collective agreement will take effect immediately.

The employer has 180 days from the signing of the contract to implement wage increases, wage adjustments and allowances. If the implementation period goes beyond 180 days and when the outstanding amount owed is greater than $500, the employer will pay a $200 lump sum per member.

PSAC will update FB group members when the agreement is signed. Please contact your regional office to make sure your contact information is up to date.
