I was connecting to YVR so I was pulled out of the line-up sent over to another temporary customs office, when I cleared, I went down a long set of stairs to the ground floor, take a bus on the tarmac to the domesticate side. Those without Nexus or Connections will be in for a long wait and everything has ground to a halt. Now the process may improve in the next few days as I understood this just started.
The good news for me was I didn't have to go through security as I was on the secure side the whole time.
"One Stop Security", for connections, you only have to clear customs, not security again. Its been legislatively available for a while, but only actually implemented at YYZ recently. I suspect the timeline was in preparation for YYZ getting the primary inspection stations.
