The OSS area at YYZ has been totally reconfigured now. There are many more counters and pax from UK/EU are also eligible.

About a month ago, line looked horrible so going to the nexus machines and then through domestic was clearly faster.
I am sure it depends on the time of the day though. Or, if one has someting to declare/deal with, in which case Nexus takes you to secondary for obviously acceptble stuff that requires declaring.

Two weeks ago my son and I were coming back from the Jays game in Detroit experienced OSS in YYZ for the very first time. On the Detroit to YYZ flight we did not fill out the customs card as we use NEXUS. we saw the OSS area and jumped in and then sent right out to fill in the customs card, 30 seconds later as i simply scribbled (made no sense at all, just big $0) and showed our passport and we were waived in. Took the bus, passed the two Signature Service Black Cars parked on the side, thy looked very unused, lol. We only had a couple of Canada Customs desks, it was unorganized and very confusing.
BUT I finally experienced OSS in YYZ. If they got there act together, used people who can speak and understand either French or English or simply have NEXUS machines there then it would be a great experience,

YUL has NEXUS machines. Not a lot, 3 or 4 I believe but it is nonetheless a great addition to the OSS process. Hopefully YYZ will have some NEXUS machines in the near future.

Finally! Two years after starting this thread and having OSS printed on my boarding passes for so many flights, i had my first Europe-to-domestic transfer without needing to go through security a second time. I was on a ZRH-FRA-YYZ-YOW journey yesterday, and it was great to go the OSS route. Very efficient - no line, about 15 seconds with the CBSA, and then the bus ride to domestic. ^

OSS at YVR
Just connected from US thru YVR yesterday. Haven't done that for a while and was surprised to see OSS implemented. When did that happen?
