Beyond that I have been sent to secondary screening before.
Below is a real conversation.
(Why are you coming back to Canada after a few hours in the US?
I didn't want to travel to the US
Why did you book this flight if you didn't want to use it at all?
It's cheaper
Why did you even show up at the airport then?
VDB hunting and lounge access
WHat's a VDB?
Voluntary Denied Boarding
Do you do this often?
I've done it before but with success
What do you have on you?
(searches through my carry on)
Show me your phone
(searches through pics)
How many times have you been to the US?
I don't remember, at least 10 times in the last few months)

Not very good chance of it being oversold.

Thanks for checking!
Sorry if this is a dumb question but where/how did you pull this info from? It can be useful to book oversold flights in the future to get more of these volunteer vouchers/IDB compensations.

Hi all,

My SO and I both have return tickets from YUL to CDG last week of November.

We are not planning on using them as circumstances have changed, we will stay longer in Canada.

If you're not Canadian citizens or residents make sure you haven't already overstayed your admission into Canada, i.e. your study permits.

No luck plane was not overbooked. Exiting the airport was a breeze, it took 5 minutes, literally.
