Yup. Better phrasing: OSS can involve any combination EXCEPT Anywhere-USA. Dom-Dom, Dom-Int, Int-Dom, Int-Int, US-Int, US-Dom at YYZ can all be OSS.

You're going to have to ask AC in Orlando to short check your bags to Orlando. An unlikely scenario is that you can ask CBSA to pull your bags. Of course unless they want to search your bags, I doubt they will do it...

From IAD-YYZ-YOW, I have "ITD OSS". Anyone seen this before?

Looks like it stands for International to Domestic. The only remotely relevant result I see on Google is for this thread, and for a job posting from March of this year that was reposted by a blog focused on aviation operation jobs.

http://avopconnections.blogspot.com/...ir-canada.html

The Connection System Coordinator is responsible to monitor ITDS (International to Domestic System) and OSS (One Stop Security Process) dashboards to ensure the appropriate movement and handling of passengers and baggage reconciliation in accordance to the memorandum of agreements between CBSA, USCB, YVRAA and Air Canada, as they pertain to the connection processes at YVR.

Does anyone know if OSS applies if the trip originates outside Europe? Or if it applies to airlines other than AC? Flying SIN-ZRH-YUL-YTZ next week on LX and AC

A side note - any experiences checking bags through to YTZ from far, far away?

None of that applies as you'll have to pick up your luggage at YUL as LX isn't an ITD flight. Recheck your bags to YTZ after exiting CBSA.

Do we have a full list of Canadian airports where OSS is operational? My cursory/lazy search implies just YYZ and YUL...

I had ITD OSS printed on my BP. My itin was LHR-YYZ / YYZ-YUL.

I went to the OSS area right before the 2 CBSA booths (no NEXUS machine yet) and I was told by Pearson employees that I couldn’t got thru because it only applies to flights coming from the US.

Is this something anyone has experienced?

Glad I googled this thread. Mrs GHT, GHT Jr and I all got ITD OSS and I thought it was some secondary thing.....
