This time, I would actually like to have access to my suitcase.

After reading this five times and looking at OP's home airport in OP's profile I am guessing that OP is flying UA NRT-SFO-YYC and connecting (possibly on separate ticket) to YYC-YYJ on AC.
If that is the case, everyone with checked luggage will have to pick it up to take it through customs and then have a choice of what to do with it. If already tagged, simply put on the belt after getting whatever is needed, or possibly recheck at checkin counter, or even leave in Calgary if that's what OP wants to do.
