Otherwise, the signage points towards D Gates(INTL) and the airside US Cnx Facility during these hours. If you're arriving anytime between 0630-0700, its better to wait in C Gates until the airside US cnx facility opens at 0700 since the connections CATSA/USCBP line is always faster. No priority/NEXUS/GE/TSAPre line at the moment due to the drop in demand from COVID.
my DOM flight landed at 2100 so this explains it
thanks!
