Answer 2

READ THIS!! I read the answers so far and they will take you straight to frustration. Your question does not give enought information,in the future,start by giving your Ed,Age,Sex,etc - so you can receive GOOD answers! NOW - if your still in school, I doubt if a guidence counsellor can help you - forget that - yes you can go on the web - but it is difficult to get around to the question you want answered. Search under: Federal Government - Immigration officers are Federal Employees, not Provincial. I would think you need to have working experience at some lower level, to apply to become an Agent. You most certainly would need to know the TOTAL IMMIGRATION ACT - and all the ins & outs - for EACH COUNTRY, allowed to enter our boarders. I would find the closest Immigration Office near you, go there, and ASK! - You will never find a "server" on the web that will allow you to ask questions and receive answers. Another step you could try, is talking to your Member of Parliament in your riding - ask his E.A. (Executive Assistant) that is in his office riding, even if you didn't vote for him/her - say you did!Good Luck you will need it - Immigration Officers, are the HIGHEST stress level employees in the Federal Government... Look into Corrections Canada/Criminal Psychology - the job of now and the future, as Crime is the biggest industry in North America.. and its growing..Use your intelligence in a position where you will see results,positive or negative. An I.O. is just one "clog" in the "wheel" - you never see the end results.

Answer 3

I can't believe some of the answers I have seen posted.

First of all - Customs is a totally separate department from Immigration.

However, at the port of entry ie. border, customs officers have legal authority to perform *some* duties of an immigration officer.

The Canada Border Services Agency deals with customs and customs issues, such as importing, exporting, etc. Their website is:

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu-e.html

They have job opportunities listed on their website:

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/careers/menu-e.html

Currently it appears they aren't looking for inspectors, but there are job openings for people with other specialties.

Here is information about how to become a customs inspector:

There is actually a customs college in Quebec where you go for training.

What does it take?

a high school diploma
two years in a related position, such as investigative work, providing information to the public, law enforcement or managing a business
a community college diploma or university degree related to law enforcement
applicants must pass a written test of the necessary job-related abilities
successful applicants currently must complete an intensive 14-week, all-expenses paid, training program at the Customs and Excise College in Rigaud, Quebec
trainees proceed to their home region to complete 38 weeks of on-the-job training
a good way to get experience and to find out if this work is for you is to get a summer job with Canada Customs

To get student summer experience as a customs inspector, check out:

http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/careers/student/menu-e.html

Student Border Services Officer (SBSO) recruitment takes place between August and April, depending on the geographical location of the job opening.

Note:
CBSA Student Border Services Officer (SBSO) job opportunities are posted on the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) Web site. The CRA transmits all applications to the CBSA for processing. All applications will remain confidential.

The website for immigration is:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.html

The government has a post-secondary recruitment program every fall. Now and then they do hire immigration officers, however alot of hiring is done internally with the government. If you are already working for the government, you have an edge over the general public. There are postings every year for refugee officers and immigration appeal division officers but you need a law degree for these positions.

Answer 4

Do you mean a Canadian Border Patrol agent or an American?

We just got an e-mail from the Utah Minuteman Coalition and Alex said that the Border Patrol will be hiring 8,000 people in the next little while. I sent this on to several of my sons...one of which is taking criminal law and speaks 3 languages fluently...

Anyway, here it is.....AND GOOD LUCK!
