Has anyone done such a routing, and if so, do you have to go through Canadian customs, then U.S. pre-clearance in YVR? Or is there a way to stay within the U.S. cleared area at YVR?

Thanks for the info.

Channa, the arrivals gates in the US area at YVR all offload into Canada Customs, so I doubt you could talk a gate agent into letting you back into the transit area.

That said, there's a connections area in Canada Customs, where you can bypass the check.
