CBSA to end Commercial Driver Registration Program on September 1, 2026

The Canada Border Services Agency states that, as of September 1, 2026, it is ending the Commercial Driver Registration Program (CDRP) because of low uptake and because it duplicates the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program. CDRP applications received on or before September 1, 2026, will continue to be processed, and current membership cards remain valid until their expiry date. Commercial drivers who want to maintain their Trusted Trader benefits are encouraged to apply to FAST.
