The border agency says it's working with partners to fix the issue and apologizes for any inconvenience the outage may cause.

Toronto's Pearson airport says the outage is impacting customs kiosks in two terminals.

A spokesperson from Montreal's Trudeau airport says customs processing is slower than usual but there is no major impact to the airport so far.
