Travellers passing through some Canadian airports may experience delays going through customs due to a system outage impacting inspection kiosks.
“Earlier this afternoon, the Canada Border Services Agency began experiencing a system outage affecting primary inspection kiosks at multiple Canadian international airports,” a CBSA spokesperson told CBC News.
“This outage was caused by an unforeseen technical issue during routine systems maintenance and we are working to restore connectivity as quickly as possible,” they said through an email statement.
Trudeau International Airport in Montreal, Toronto’s Pearson International Airport and Calgary International Airport are some of the major Canadian airports that have warned passengers on social media they may experience longer than normal wait times at customs.
