U.S. bound travellers flying out of the Vancouver International Airport or crossing the border can expect long delays after U.S. customs battled a nation-wide computer outage.
YVR confirmed the system went down across Canada at around 2:00 p.m.
Customs officers processed travellers manually, causing long line ups and delayed flights.
YVR said the issue was resolved by 4 p.m.
U.S. officials at the Peace Arch border crossing said they also experienced the system outage and encouraged travellers to allow extra time to cross the border.
Frustrated travellers took to Twitter to vent about the delays.
