ORD to YVR customs wait, no NEXUS.
This is for a flight from ORD to YVR; arriving Friday morning at 11:40 on United. How long for customs to enter Canada?

Are you Canadian? 5 minutes to 60 minutes.
American? 5 minutes to 90 minutes.

Since they installed the automated kiosks for US and Canadian citizens, I've never seen that line look like it takes more than a few minutes more than NEXUS. Which is to say 10 minutes tops. But maybe I'm just not there when 5 wide bodies from Asia show up simultaneously.

Between five and fifteen minutes, depending on whether or not you beat the widebodies in.

Just returned from HKG. 5 minutes at the automate machines. 5 min at the customs officer stand.
It look (much) longer to wait for my bags at the carousel.
