A planned project by the Canada Border Services Agency would see Canadians use facial recognition technology to identify themselves through their smartphones when crossing the border.

“The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is working to make travel smoother while keeping the border safe. We are putting in place tools and technologies to build the border of the future,” a spokesperson from the agency told The Epoch Times.
