The following form must be completed in full. Failure to complete all areas of the form may result in the Request for Visit (RFV), also known as Visit Clearance Request (VCR), being rejected.
Dates must be entered using the following format: yyyy-mm-dd. A RFV may not be longer than one year less a day.
If you require additional space for the number of visitors, do the following:
Click on “Particulars of Visitors” on the left hand Bookmarks tab or scroll down to page 4 of the form,
Fill in the “Particulars of Visitors” as needed, to a maximum of 7 per page,
Print the form,
Press “Clear Form”, and repeat steps, as required, for a maximum of 80 visitors per RFV.
**Additions to existing visits may be submitted at any time but must be submitted on a separate RFV.
For visits to a foreign entity, you must provide a passport number for all visitors listed.
Any RFV sent by fax or mail must be signed by the Company Security Officer (CSO) or Alternate Company Security Officer (ACSO) in box 10 of the RFV. If you are sending your RFV electronically, the e-mail address of the CSO/ACSO will be accepted as a digital signature in the absence of an actual signature in box 10 of the RFV. However, IISD must be able to identify and confirm the e-mail address from which the RFV was sent. Therefore, the CSO and ACSO contact information in the Industrial Security Program (ISP) database must be up-to-date. If you need to add or update your contact information in the ISP database, please contact the Industrial Security Sector Call Centre.
The request may be submitted by fax to 613-948-1712, by mail to Visits and Document Control, International Industrial Security Directorate (IISD), Industrial Security Sector at our mailing address or by e-mail to ssivisites.issvisits@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.
IISD does have a lead time requirement of 15 business days in addition to the lead time requirements of the receiving agency/government department/foreign entity. This lead time is in effect the day the RFV is received by IISD. Thus, please ensure sufficient time is allowed for processing your RFV. Failure to honour these lead times may result in the RFV being rejected. In an emergency, contact us directly to discuss your options. For more information on lead times, please see Annex 6-B in the Industrial Security Manual (ISM), http://ssi-iss.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/msi-ism/ch6/annx-6b-eng.html. IISD cannot provide assurance that a RFV will be processed within the identified lead times if the RFV is sent directly to a Visits Officer.
Should you have any questions regarding the form or instructions, you may contact the Visits and Document Control Division directly via e-mail, ssivisites.issvisits@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca, or the Industrial Security Sector Call Centre.
