According to a recent report presented in the House of Commons, the number of travelers using ArriveCAN to enter Canada has significantly declined since the app became voluntary, despite being available in more airports. The report shows that since the federal government made ArriveCAN optional in September 2022, most air travelers are not using the program. The app was initially only available in Vancouver, Toronto Pearson, and Montreal airports but has since been expanded to several other airports, including Winnipeg, Halifax, Quebec City, Calgary, Edmonton, Mississauga, Ottawa, and Billy Bishop in Toronto. However, only 11% of air travelers have participated in the program, even with the expansion. The report also shows that compliance with using ArriveCAN was low in various airports, with some seeing less than 1% of travelers using the app. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) recommends the use of ArriveCAN as it can help save time, with the average processing time being 30% faster. Currently, ArriveCAN is only available in airports, but CBSA plans on expanding it to land borders. Additionally, CBSA is looking to digitize the border and promote the use of new technologies, although it’s unclear whether facial recognition will be implemented in ArriveCAN.
