It is true. Pre pandemic CBP at YYZ closes at 9pm. When flights are delayed till say 10:30pm, the airlines won't post the delay until close to 9pm because they want the passengers to all get through CBP before they close.

With the flight reductions during covid, I guess the closing time is now earlier at 6:30pm as suggested by an earlier post?
