People flying to the U.S. from Ottawa International Airport can now avoid customs lines using a smartphone app.
app allows travellers to submit their passport and customs declaration information ahead of time, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
"As a result, travelers may experience shorter wait times, less congestion and efficient processing," Customs and Border Patrol said. Ottawa is among six new eligible sites this month: Las Vegas, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Halifax are the others. Travellers then select their arrival airport, take a selfie and answer a series of questions. Once they submit the information, they receive a QR code, which they can show to a customs officer along with their passport to clear customs.
