I couldn't see any posts on here, but thought I would ask to see if anyone ran into this.

Last month (Dec 2022) flew domestic out of YYZ-T1 going through the Nexus line for security with a non-Nexus compaion. Told the CATSA agent at the line that the 2 of us a travelling together and I was told that BOTH of us had to be Nexus holders in order to use the Nexus security line and then pointed to a sign that said each person must have their own Nexus card (or something to that effect).

This is the first time this has ever happened. From my understanding, and as per the CATSA website for Trusted Travellers, companions travelling on the same flight can accompany me through the Trusted Travellers security line.

Trusted Travellers include:
  • members of NEXUS and Global Entry programs;
  • currently serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces and U.S. military, including reservists, all with valid ID (no uniform required);
  • Canadian aircrew and airport workers with Restricted Area Identification Cards (RAICs);
  • international aircrew in uniform with valid airline ID; and
  • those accompanying these trusted travellers on the same flight
per: https://www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca/en/trusted-travellers

I didn't push back against the agent, but curious to know if anyone else experienced this going through security at YYZ-T1 Domestic?
