The Department of External Affairs presents its compliments to the Heads of Missions accredited to Canada and has the honour to refer to the matter of requests for permission to enter ports and/or waters under Canadian jurisdiction.
The Department has the honour to inform the Missions that the Canadian Government, as the result of a recent review of clearance procedures, has decided to make certain clarifications in the procedures. The Department has, therefore, the honour to enclose a copy of the "Canadian Clearance Procedure for Foreign Vessels Entering ports and/or Waters Under Canadian Jurisdiction".
Should the Mission wish to have additional information on Clearance Procedures, the Department of External Affairs would be pleased to discuss them further.
The Department of Exteinal Affairs avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Missions the assurances of its highest consideration.
