No problem. Sharing my story from my wife and I's flight yesterday (Sat. Oct 9). YEG -> YYZ -> LGA. We were flying business class but have no other special Global Entry/NEXUS status.

Our flight from YEG arrived slightly late at YYZ--we were out of the plane and through the door at Terminal 1's gate D28 at around 5:15pm (we had been sitting in row 2, business class, on Air Canada). Our LGA flight was on time, scheduled to depart at 6:30pm, boarding at 6:05pm at gate F64--so that gave us only 1:15 to make the connection. Having heard the horror stories, I was already mentally preparing myself for missing the flight. I felt it was impossible to make it.

We hustled (not a sprint, but a very brisk walk, almost a trot at times), following the "Connections to USA - F Gates" signs, until we reached security. There was hardly anyone there! Just one or two people in front of us. No priority security lineup that I could see (not needed, certainly, given how few people there were). My wife's carryon bag sailed through, but mine got stopped--I had forgotten to take a baggie of ice out of my cooler, which I'd filled up post-security in Edmonton.

We next proceeded to the "holding area" where you have to wait to have your initials show up on the TV screen so that you can proceed to US Customs. Here was where we hit the big delay. Our incoming Edmonton flight was still showing as "Waiting...", meaning the bags hadn't even yet begun to be processed. Fearing we'd miss our flight, we spoke to a very down-to-earth guy at the Baggage Services counter, explained we were rushing to make our flight, and was there anything he could do...? It seems as though the deal is that they need a photograph of your bag coming through the luggage system before you can go to US Customs...but as long as one person in your party has a bag that gets photo'ed, he can manually fill out a form on a piece of paper attesting that yours is also going to arrive. Which this guy did for us, once my wife's bag was photographed (he kept checking his screen to see if either of our bags had been photographed). We then sped out of there (now at a short run) at around 5:50. I was now pretty sure we were going to miss our flight.

It turned out that US Customs is just a 30-second walk from the holding area....and lo and behold, when we got there, THERE WAS NO ONE THERE. There were definitely queueing ropes set up that could handle a fairly good lineup of people, but when we arrived, there was ZERO PEOPLE in front of us and no one behind us. Four or five agents on duty--but no lineup.

Interestingly....we never had to fill out the form we've always had to fill out which asks if you've been on a farm, are you bringing meat into the USA, etc. etc. I'm not sure why, or if we just missed it and the US Customs agent never checked, or what. The agent also did not ask to see our antigen test proof (we had been asked to show it in Edmonton when we checked in), nor did he ask to see our attestation forms which we'd filled out. He did, however, check the form our Baggage Services guy had filled out for us, and stamped it.

In any case, we of course sailed through Customs, and the F Gates are just a couple of minutes away, so we arrived at gate F64 at around 5:55pm, ten minutes ahead of boarding and 35 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time. As it turned out, our flight wound up being delayed about 20 minutes anyway.....because it had to wait for bags to be loaded on from other connecting flights.
