YYZ customs construction
Appears YYZ Canada Customs is under renovations/construction.
Arrived in YYZ from Grand Cayman on Friday and as I approached the usual stairway that goes down to customs it was all roped off with a hugh line-up at the top of the stairs. I was connecting to YVR so I was pulled out of the line-up sent over to another temporary customs office, when I cleared, I went down a long set of stairs to the ground floor, take a bus on the tarmac to the domesticate side. Those without Nexus or Connections will be in for a long wait and everything has ground to a halt. Now the process may improve in the next few days as I understood this just started.
The good news for me was I didn't have to go through security as I was on the secure side the whole time.

I get your point but doesn't appear that the Canada Forum gets much traffic, while the Air Canada pax who use customs would be helpful to be on that forum.
