Morphology

criminal + intelligence + services + of + Canada

The phrase is a compositional name: 'criminal' (relating to crime) + 'intelligence' (information/analysis) + 'services' (agency/functions) + 'of Canada' (national scope). A B1 learner who knows these constituents and common naming conventions for government agencies can readily infer it refers to a Canadian agency coordinating criminal-intelligence services, so the meaning is transparent.

Etymology

Criminal Intelligence Services of Canada comes from its job: criminal means crime, intelligence means information about crime, and services means agencies working together. Imagine many local police offices sending their reports into one centre so they can 'share information' and 'work together' across Canada, which is why the organisation unites police intelligence nationwide.
