Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) is Canada's national intelligence agency responsible for gathering, analyzing, and sharing information related to national security threats. Its primary roles include detecting and preventing espionage, terrorism, and other activities that could harm Canada or its citizens. CSIS operates both inside and outside Canada, working closely with other government agencies and international partners. It does not have law enforcement powers but provides vital intelligence to help government decision-makers protect national interests. Its work ensures Canada's safety while respecting citizens' rights and freedoms.
