The PARS tracking web site is intended to make it simple to check the current status of your shipments, thereby enabling instant information on the movement of your goods.
When using the PARS tracking web site, you will find out whether the PARS shipment was accepted or refused by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). You will consequently know instantly if your carrier or yourself can proceed to the border office and present the shipment documents for release or if you have to wait or take further action.
To check the status of your PARS shipment, just follow the instructions and fill−in the required fields. When prompted, enter your PARS number and click Submit. A new page will display your current shipment status and other data element related to the shipment.
The following table lists all possible status (and definitions) you might encounter when checking your PAPS status.
