Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrival process that uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States.
USA/CANADA US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers recently made an apprehension in Toronto and Vancouver, immediately following the implementation of Simplified Arrival, an enhanced international arrival process using facial biometrics, which began in Canada earlier this month.
In Toronto, CBP officers identified a facial mismatch of a Canadian citizen attempting to travel to the United States. Upon further inspection, CBP officers uncovered that the traveller attempted to use her sister s passport for entry into the United States. The imposter was denied admissibility and turned over to Canadian authorities.
U.S. CBP to introduce Simplified Arrival process in Canada

The Simplified Arrival process is currently set to be introduced at eight Preclearance locations across Canada, beginning with Toronto Pearson Airport.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the upcoming expansion of Simplified Arrival at eight Preclearance locations throughout Canada, beginning with Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrival process that uses biometric facial comparison technology to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the U.S. This process provides travellers with a touchless experience that further secures and streamlines international arrivals while fulfilling a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.
A recent DHS report titled the “CBP Trade and Travel Report” reads like an instruction manual on how to exploit the public’s fear of COVID. The report is a perfect example of how the Feds used the pandemic as an excuse to install facial recognition cameras across the country.
The report starts out by claiming that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) faced serious hardships because of the coronavirus epidemic.
“Furthermore, passenger volumes for all modes of transportation combined decreased 42 percent, and air travelers specifically decreased 54.2 percent.
When other organizations had a decrease in business, they laid off or furloughed their employees as a result. What did Homeland Security do? They, instead, decided to increase biometric surveillance of everyone.

Ah, yes. International travel. Remember in the Before Times when we were able to do such a thing? I was lucky. We took an amazing trip to Europe where we visited Barcelona, Spain; plus Rome, Naples and the Amalfi Coast in Italy, all back in September of 2019, just a few months before the coronavirus hit and shut everything down.
