ArriveCAN is the digital beast that just won’t die.The app was supposed to be a short-term solution to make sure everyone who entered Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic followed the government’s strict 14-day quarantine rules. Border union claims government stats about ArriveCAN app ‘absolutely false’ It was launched in April 2020 and made mandatory in November of that year.But as vaccination rates rise, and as other public health measures fall, the app has quietly morphed into something else.And anyone who hoped the app might soon disappear is likely going to be disappointed with the results.“ArriveCAN was originally created for COVID-19, but it has technological capacity beyond that,” Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said during a June 28 press conference.Mendocino’s remarks signal plans to use ArriveCAN as part of the Liberal government’s efforts to “modernize our border” and “shrink the amount of time” it takes to go through customs.A recent update to the app, which the government released without fanfare, allows passengers arriving at Toronto Pearson and Vancouver International airports to complete their customs declaration form before landing in Canada.This may not seem like a big change, but it’s a radical shift from what the app was originally intended to do: collect public health data.“This is a bait and switch,” said Bianca Wylie, a technology expert and partner at Digital Public.
