Unknown if LHR can react quickly, but AC and LH are in the same terminal. Additionally T2 was designed to accommodate OSS type pax flow.
I would give it a try on the ground in LHR if you get OSS onto your BP.

The bigger issue at the moment is that you go through baggage claim, so you have access to "unscreened" objects.
They'd need a sterile transfer pathway for this to work.
YVR does not have a sterile transit corridor that could accommodate OSS pax flow.
YYZ does have this sterile corridor. the corridor runs above gates 53-57 and used to transfer domestic pax to International flights. There is a CBSA desk in node F just after international security screening that could handle the entry card formalities. Additionally there is a security desk at either end of the corridor to prevent people from getting lost and accidentally winding up in the wrong area.
YYC new International terminal will have a connections center that can handle sterile international to domestic connections. The sterile connections connections center will be located where the AC Transborder MLL would have gone if AC decided to take up the lease. However AC did not provide for a Transborder MLL in the new terminal New terminal opens in fall 2016.
