At airports, program participants proceed to Global Entry kiosks, present their machine-readable U.S. passport or permanent resident card, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification, and make a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveler a transaction receipt and directs the traveler to baggage claim and the exit." There is no way for the Canadian officer to access the fingerprint record.
I was not suggesting that you get to do GE from Canada, but that if you have GE you get to go thru the Crew/Nexus line which can save 25+ mins of time. You still have to fill the form out and talk to a customs agent.
