Information on whether the master of a vessel is required to provide Canadian officials with any documents, other than the crew list and the IMM202, with respect to the desertion of a crew member (excluding seaman's book and/or passport); on whether other than the IMM410 (official receipt), the master of a vessel is issued any documents (or copies of documents) by Canadian officials with respect to the desertion of a crew member; and on whether the master is given, for example, a copy of IMM202 and IMM5248 (Notificiation of Contravention of the Immigration Act or Regulations by a Transportation Company) [CAN20078.E]

In a telephone interview on 29 March 1995, a program specialist with Citizenship and Immigration Canada's Port of Entry Control in Ottawa stated that the master of a vessel is required only to submit the crew list and the IMM202 to Canadian officials. The program specialist added that the master of a vessel is only given the IMM202, and that the IMM5428 is not used in the case of desertion of a crew member.

Corroborating information could not be found among the sources consulted by the DIRB.
