And no liquids to be scanned. Same experience before on the same flight from TPE earlier this year.
AC FA said she thought that the TPE flight would have OSS shortly but apparently not on my flight this month. At this point it is more seamless to fly TPE - Asia (TYO/ICN/HKG) and then directly to YYZ then waste time at YVR. I went thru security at ICN in 5 mins or less for a transfer.
Leave and clear as a new passenger. That's pretty much my recommendation everywhere in Canada/USA for ITD.

Plus, we would then not have access to the Int'l MLL, which is far, far nicer than the domestic one.
Shocking that they don't want domestic passengers to have access to the international lounge
