TORONTO - International travellers arriving at Canada's largest airport may now be funnelled into different customs lines based on their vaccination status.
Toronto's Pearson International Airport said Saturday it may be splitting passengers coming from the U.S. or other international destinations into vaccinated and partially or non-vaccinated queues.
"This is a measure to help streamline the border clearance process as there are different entry requirements for vaccinated and non/partially vaccinated travellers, which have been broadly communicated by the Government of Canada," said Beverly MacDonald, a spokeswoman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
