Title: Delays Expected at Toronto Pearson Airport Due to Kiosk Outage

Travelers at Toronto Pearson International Airport and other Canadian airports are facing significant delays following an outage of the Canada Border Services Agency's (CBSA) inspection kiosks. This marks the second such outage this week, with previous incidents causing hours-long wait times across the country, from Vancouver to Montreal, on Sunday.

The CBSA acknowledged the issue on social media, stating, "We are working with partners on fixing the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this outage may cause and thank you for your patience." While the agency indicated that some airports would be affected, it did not specify which locations would experience delays.

At Pearson Airport, officials warned passengers of "longer than normal wait times" due to the outage, particularly affecting terminals one and three. In a statement sent to CBC News on Sunday evening, a CBSA spokesperson explained that the initial outage was caused by an "unforeseen technical issue during routine systems maintenance."

The impact of the kiosk outage extended beyond border processing. Reports indicated that check-ins for Canada-bound flights were also affected, requiring airline staff to contact Canadian authorities to verify both domestic and foreign passports. This added to the delays and frustration for travelers trying to navigate the airport during peak travel times.
