Canadian Security Intelligence Service

The people of CSIS are dedicated to the protection of Canada's national security interests and the safety of Canadians

Our Vision

The fundamental goal of CSIS is to be an outstanding national intelligence organization dedicated to serving the people of Canada, through its Government, with effectiveness and integrity.

In achieving our vision, we recognize that rapid change will continue to characterize the world in the future. Therefore, employees at all levels must be ready and able to deal successfully with changing priorities. This requires us to be adaptable, flexible and sensitive to emerging issues.

Through our practices we will pursue constant improvements in the nature and quality of intelligence operations, human resources programs and needed technologies.

To this end, we will encourage continuous learning in order to be better prepared to meet evolving needs and requirements; we will build close relationships with our clients in order to fully meet our obligations to them; and we will communicate our role and attain a better understanding of CSIS.

We will continue to attain a high level of performance in the fulfilment of our mandate and, thereby, help to safeguard the democratic values and institutions of Canada.

This vision will only be achieved by employees who are guided by the principles of excellence, integrity and respect for the rights of all.
