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:

  • Obtain a Criminal Record Check from the RCMP, located at 105 Paquette Dr. in Timberlea.
  • Complete YMM Security Awareness Training by creating an account here: https://www.ymmtraining.ca/.
  • Create your Transport Security Services account after you receive the link with an invitation code. The invitation code is valid for four days.

Once the above steps have been completed, your Transportation Security Services application will be submitted to the Pass Office for review. After your application has been reviewed and is ready to submit to Transport Canada, the Pass Office will contact your manager to schedule an appointment.

At your Pass Office appointment, a Temporary Pass will be issued (if required), and fingerprints and a photo will be taken. These will be submitted along with the Transportation Security Screening Application external link: Home Transportation Security Services (canada.ca)
