Automated Border Clearance
A new automated border clearance process that makes it easier and faster to welcome Canadians home is now available at Toronto Pearson.
The Automated Border Clearance (ABC) kiosks are a secure and innovative service designed to accelerate passenger screening and border processing. Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada who have a valid Canadian passport or permanent resident card now have the option of using an Automated Border Clearance kiosk upon their return to Canada. The kiosks do not require pre-registration by guests or payment of any membership fees.
To use the kiosk, guests follow these simple steps:
- Touch the screen to get started. Scan your travel document.
- Insert your completed Declaration Card. Answer a few clarifying questions as required.
- Present your printed kiosk receipt and travel documents to a border services officer at the next checkpoint for verification.
