The CAIS (Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization) Program replaces NISA ( Net Income Stabilization Account) and CFIP (Canadian Farm Income Program) beginning with the 2003 taxation year. It is designed to provide Canadian agricultural producers with an on-going whole-farm risk management tool, that provides protection against both small and large declines in income. CAIS is a joint federal/provincial/territorial Business Risk Management program.
