About this app

ArriveCAN still contains Advance CBSA Declaration, which allows you to answer customs and immigration questions up to 72 hours in advance of flying into Canada. It is currently available to international air travellers who enter Canada at selected airports.

By submitting your customs and immigration information in advance, you will spend less time at a primary inspection kiosk (PIK) or eGate when you arrive at the airport. This contributes to shorter line-ups in arrivals halls.

At the border, you will be prompted to scan your travel document at a primary inspection device and confirm your identity. Once your identity has been confirmed, your Advance CBSA Declaration will be retrieved from ArriveCAN for you to review and certify. If changes are required, you can edit and update your declaration prior to certification.

Use of the Advance CBSA Declaration feature of ArriveCAN is entirely optional.

Please refer to the accessibility notice for this app: https://www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/services/arrivecan.html#accessibility-notice

This app supports English, French and Spanish (as per your device’s language settings).

Program has lots of bugs when scanning and then sometimes freezes at 12% when uploading passport information. After 15 or 20 minutes of tries it worked. Then it froze again when it tried to load the form. I'll try again tomorrow. Fortunately just trying it out a couple weeks before I must actually travel! If I finally get it all working I'll update this review :((

What's the point of this app if I still have to use a kiosk terminal at the airport to complete my declaration and picture? I thought I'd be able to just skip that line all together and head to an agent for review. I still get a paper print out; why? It should be exactly like a boarding pass that gives me a QR code and takes my picture using my phone. The agent scans my QR code and directs me to secondary if needed. $60M for this garbage. Unbelievable.

Taking a picture of your passport doesn't seem to work. You'd think after 3 years they'd have figured it out a bit. You also have to answer all of the same questions again when you land anyways, so I don't really see the point of prefilling.
