1. Go to https://www.aircanada.com/cargo/tracking or use third-party platforms like TrackCargo, GoComet, or Beacon. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 014-XXXXXXXX where 014 is Air Canada's IATA prefix and the remaining digits identify the specific consignment. 3. You will receive tracking information including booking confirmation, cargo received, cargo manifested, plane departed, plane arrived, cargo received and cargo delivered/collected. 4. If tracking hasn't updated for several days, contact Air Canada Cargo customer service or the sender with your tracking number.

Every shipment is assigned a unique 11-digit AWB number in the format 014-XXXXXXXX, where 014 is Air Canada's IATA-assigned airline prefix and the remaining digits identify the specific consignment. The 014 prefix identifies Air Canada as the primary carrier responsible for the shipment, ensuring proper routing through Air Canada's cargo network and systems. The 7-digit serial number is unique to each shipment, and the final digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 arithmetic (serial number divided by 7, remainder only) to verify data integrity.

Air Canada holds IATA CEIV Pharma certification for handling temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments. CEIV is the IATA-administered audit standard that validates a carrier's end-to-end cold-chain procedures, staff training, and facilities against pharma-grade requirements.
