OTTAWA — Travellers would be able to use facial recognition technology to identify themselves through their smartphones when crossing the border under a planned federal project.
The Canada Border Services Agency says the initiative would allow for a faster and more seamless travel experience.
The federal government recently issued a notice seeking technical solutions from possible vendors, an opportunity worth up to US$25 million.
The system would match a photo from a traveller’s passport with a selfie taken via a mobile device.
