Sorry to bump an old thread and mods please feel free to move but….
Is there still a priority security screening lane at international departures at YVR? And if so, what are the chances of one pax on a different PNR getting the magic green sticker?

I applied a status pass to some friends’ PNR (4 passengers) for an international trip in a couple of weeks. Now another friend has joined them on the trip but is of course booked on a different pnr. None of them has any status or Nexus or has ever used a lounge so this is a real treat for them. What are the chances AC lets him tag along in the priority check in lane and also gives him a green sticker for the priority security lane? I can give him a lounge pass to join them in the MLL but I know they won’t leave him behind at security and will wait in the normal line with him so it will defeat the whole purpose of the status pass. Will AC let him join his friends at priority check in and also give him a green priority security sticker (if that is even how they still do it)?

Edit: I now see the Int’l MLL at YVR is closed! Well that just throws a wrench in the entire plan. But my question still stands.
