Return your passes and permits
You must return all security items issued by the Pass Permit Control Office to either the employer or the Pass Permit Control Office if you no longer need them. This includes all valid and expired security items such as RAICs, keycards, temporary passes, AVOPs, vehicle markers, and ACO cards.
Return of security items upon termination of employment
The GTAA recognizes that many Toronto Pearson workers have been left unemployed by the economic impact of COVID-19 on our industry. To continue to maintain safe and secure operations, all security items no longer required due to termination of employment at Toronto Pearson must be returned to the Pass Permit Control Office immediately. It’s important for everyone to stay safe and healthy during this time and practice physical distancing. If you are exhibiting or experiencing illness or any symptoms of COVID-19, please do not visit the office and arrange to attend at a later date.
Lost or stolen passes
If one of your security items is lost, stolen or misplaced, you must:
- Report it immediately to your employer and the Pass Permit Control Office.
- Complete the application form for the pass that was lost or stolen.
