From the wizard:

> Most passengers will have their luggage checked-through to their final destination, so you will not claim your checked-bags at YVR.

> Please confirm this with your airline when you check in for your first flight

> Please ensure you have a boarding card and baggage claim tags for your connecting flight – if you do not, contact your airline for instructions.

While an airline won't sell you a ticket with a routing through Canada between two US destinations, you can still technically do it via two tickets, so the wizrd covers this scenario.
