The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced that its inspection kiosk system is back online following a widespread outage, though officials warn that delays may persist for travelers. The system, which streamlines the entry process at airports and border crossings, experienced technical issues earlier today, causing significant disruptions.
Outage Details and Impact
The outage affected multiple locations across Canada, including major international airports and land border points. Travelers faced long wait times as officers manually processed entries. The CBSA worked quickly to restore the system, but residual delays are expected as the backlog clears.
Advice for Travelers
The agency advises passengers to check their flight status and allow extra time for processing. Those crossing by land should also anticipate possible delays. The CBSA thanks the public for their patience and will provide updates as the situation evolves.
This incident highlights the importance of robust technological infrastructure in facilitating efficient border operations. The CBSA continues to monitor the system to prevent future disruptions.
