Allowing CBP land interview (with/without appointment) after the CBSA airport interview wouldn’t make sense because of land border capacity constraints. Land border appointments are tying CBSA/CBP officer’s time together. Allowing an airport interviewee just for the CBP part at land border will just waste the CBSA portion of the slot for someone else.
If one were able to make it to the land border, one should have just made a land border appointment to begin with.

That's how it's supposed to be, but either the appointments are all snatched up or it's not online yet. Only Winnipeg airport has any appointment slot available as far as I can see.
If you haven’t done the CBSA interview yet and don’t see any appointments for YUL, they are all booked (appointments were released on March 20).
If you have already done the CBSA interview then you can do the CBP portion without an appointment departing Canada for US at an US pre-clearance airport such as YUL.
