customs/immigration clearance at YWG?
Drew the shortest of short straws at work and will have a business trip to Winnipeg next week.
Upon my return to the US, will I clear US customs and immigration at YWG or ORD.
Also, anything to know about UA's flights to YWG?
Thank you!

Before the switch to TS/S.....
You will clear at YWG.
Additionally, there's a Four Points Sheraton attached to the airport. Everything is very close. I've left the front desk of that hotel and got to the gate in less than 15 minutes (I'm also a NEXUS member, so that factored in too).
Also, should be noted that the UX gate area at YWG is VERY small.

It isn't especially small if there's only a UX flight leaving...but all the U-S bound flights share the same departure lounge (post pre-clearance, if that makes sense). So if there's a NW flight leaving at roughly the same time, you'll be hard-pressed to find a seat.
At certain times of the day, there is a newstand with very limited food options in the departure area.
