Primary Inspection Kiosks and eDeclaration now available at Halifax Stanfield


HALIFAX, Dec. 8, 2017 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Halifax International Airport Authority announced today that Primary Inspection Kiosks (PIK) and the eDeclaration mobile application are operating at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. PIK are next generation technology that offer self-service options for international air travellers arriving in Canada.

PIK verify travel documents, allow travellers to complete an on-screen declaration, and confirm identity using facial authentication for all eligible international travellers arriving by air. Those looking to save more time can complete their declaration in advance using the CanBorder - eDeclaration mobile app, which will give them a quick response (QR) code to scan at a kiosk upon arrival. 

The 24 Primary Inspection Kiosks at the Halifax Stanfield strengthen border security, as well as assist in reducing wait times. Halifax Stanfield is the fifth Canadian airport to launch the PIK technology in 2017.

Travellers are encouraged to download our free CanBorder - eDeclaration mobile app to save even more time when you arrive at select airports in Canada.
