Insiders Leak: Canada's New Travel Policy Will Use Biometric Data to Flag Tourists Before They Even Book Flights
Behind closed doors, sources whisper that Ottawa is quietly finalizing a protocol linking travel restrictions to Canada with real-time biometric screening at partnered airlines. The system, codenamed "Northern Gaze," will allegedly scan passengers' facial and fingerprint data during booking to pre-approve or deny entry before departure—bypassing current visa and eTA processes. A leaked memo warns this could "reduce visitor volume by 40% overnight." No official announcement is expected for weeks, but internal legal teams are scrambling to address privacy blowback.
