Regarding Nexus, those lines are open but you will have already cleared security in Ottawa so not relevant.
If it were me, though...I would actually drive to Montreal and fly from there. I live in the fake London (YXU) and gave up on the YXU-YYZ flight and simply fly direct from YYZ everywhere. I am used to the drive and appreciate not sweating the connection issue.
I don’t believe this is true. I believe AC has 3 separate gate areas. Domestic. USA. International. I believe you do have to reclear security in YYZ arriving from YOW connecting to LHR.
