Despite a different role, BSO’s became armed, equipped, & trained like police. 2) Immigration enforcement duties were previously overseen by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), now known as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Currently, IRCC doesn’t oversee immigration enforcement but instead focuses on the paperwork and legal side of citizenship. Enforcement actions are done by CBSA. 3) Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) previously oversaw all food importing and exporting business in Canada. The CFIA still exists, but they now share some of the border-based duties with the CBSA.
