Between January 1 and October 31, 2024, the CBSA:
Made approximately 7,700 weapons and firearms seizures at ports of entry, which kept more than 15,600 weapons and 850 firearms off our streets (that is 50 more firearms than what had been seized at this time last year). Of those, 1,274 prohibited weapons and 750 firearms were seized coming from the U.S.
In addition to the firearms seized at ports of entry, CBSA investigators seized firearms and prohibited firearms parts in Canada during search warrants conducted as part of firearms smuggling investigations.
Seized over 25,600 kg of illegal drugs (both inbound and outbound). We also intercepted over 15,000 kg of cannabis and 547,000 kg of undeclared tobacco preventing millions of dollars in revenue evasion and combatting organized crime. Of our total illegal drug seizures, we stopped:
4.9 kg of fentanyl, an increase of 775% from the same period in 2023, of which 4.1 kg was intercepted outbound before it could be smuggled towards the Netherlands. Canada is committed to working with international partners to address the global fentanyl crisis.
3,955 kg of cocaine, an increase of 168% from the same period in 2023
37 kg of heroin
21,457 kg of other drugs, narcotics and precursor chemicals
237 kg of other opioids (including opium, methadone, morphine and morphine base)
