Someone was waving a blue card and shouting "Canadian Connections" when I arrived on the most recent AC 4 from NRT. The problem is, she was standing in front on a line next to the Nexus line. She sent me to Nexus. Then my choices were exit into the terminal and go back through C security or stay to the right, elevator upstairs, long walk down hallway, through 2 lane non-Nexus security up there and then down escalator to the area near the information booth and main security airside.

On this particular day, a concierge was there with a BP for my onward flight. He took me on the airside bus (great plane porn BTW) to the domestic terminal, entering the door at gate 29, across from the MLL.

The problem was, he did not know NRT was not one of the destinations where the bus is yet allowed for inbound pax. The other problem was the extremely poor filtering and info process at arrival to immigration at YVR. It felt like no one took this idea for a test drive before they put that person and their sign in front of the line.
