Welcome to the Fort McMurray International Airport’s (YMM) Employee Team! The Government of Canada’s Transportation Security Services (TSS) Process is mandatory for all employees who require post-security access and must obtain a Restricted Area Identification Card (RAIC). Employees must start the process immediately as it can take three months or more to complete the entire process.
Documents Required
Every individual requiring unescorted access to the restricted area of Fort McMurray International Airport must obtain a transportation security services clearance.
Your employer will submit a Temporary Restricted Area Access Pass form for you to obtain a daily visitor pass. This pass will be available to you daily for 14 days.
During your first 14 days you will need to:
