Pass Control
YKF’s Pass Control issues Restricted Area Identification Cards (RAICs), Temporary Passes, Access Cards, Parking Passes, and Airside Vehicle Operator’s Permits (AVOPs).
Security Clearance:
The information in the following section is directed to employers and employees who work and/or operate business at the Region of Waterloo International Airport and is not intended for the general public.
As an employee if you are required to work in a restricted area, you will need to apply for the following passes and permits:
|
1. Transportation Security Clearance (TSC)
|
|
You must have valid Transport Security Clearance (TSC) to apply for a RAIC. A TSC is valid for a maximum of five (5) years and is subject to revocation at any time by Transport Canada. Please visit the Government of Canada’s website for travel and out of country documentation requirements. Once you have applied for the TSC clearance, email AirportPassControl@regionofwaterloo.ca to arrange for an appointment for your biometrics to be taken which will be submitted to Transport Canada as part of your TSC application. Airport Pass Control will contact the applicant once their clearance is processed and approved or denied by Transport Canada - This can take up to a few months to be fully processed. |
|
2. YKF Security Awareness Program
|
|
This is mandatory for new and expired RAIC applicants. The program can be completed online through the Region of Waterloo training website. |
|
3. Restricted Area/ Access Card/ Parking
|
|
Restricted Area Identification Cards (RAIC) allow an employee to work in the restricted area of an airport. To receive a RAIC you must have a valid TSC. Your RAIC must be renewed every five years along with your TSC. Print and complete the Restricted Area Identity Card (RAIC) Application Form.
A temporary pass allows an employee to work in a restricted area until Transport Canada grants a transportation security clearance. While waiting for your TSC, you may need to extend your Security Control Pass, which is valid for three months. If an extension is required, a new RAIC application form is required.
Once the paperwork is completed in full, the application can be dropped off at the Information Desk where the Terminal Operations will take a photo for a temporary pass if required. You must bring these documents with you to the information desk
Non-refundable fee for issuing a new, replacement or renewed RAIC is $75.
