I am flying YUL-YYZ-ORD. I read in a thread from a year or so ago that there are not NEXUS kiosks when connecting in Toronto. The advice was to go out and enter the transborder area with the non-connecting passengers.
Is this still the case in Toronto? As a NEXUS card holder, what do you think the best course of action is?

According to https://www.aircanada.com/us/en/aco/...ort/ca-us.html you should be able to have access to Global Entry machines when you do a domestic-us connection
There are definitely Global Entry machines for this connection.

Ouch. That's not good. I usually fly direct. One of the best things about having NEXUS is the arrival in Montreal. Lesson learned.Originally Posted by YEG USER
Going to USA is fine for Nexus. It is the Canadian customs on the way back that doesnt have Nexus (unless that has changed recently).
Thanks, everyone, for the answers.

As this is a YYZ question rather than Air Canada or Aeroplan specific it's been relocated to the Canada forum for further discussion.

YYZ T1 (Air Canada and *A) has GE doing domestic to US. There is not yet NEXUS in the US/Intl to Domestic direction, although Pearson said they are coming but I would not hold my breath until the construction on the new secure corridor is done.
YUL has GE going domestic to US and and also NEXUS in the US/Intl to Domestic direction.

The issue for me is whether or not I can use a NEXUS kiosk arriving on an Air Canada flight from Chicago. It appears that I cannot. I am not sure what you mean about "going through normal arrivals to clear security."Originally Posted by OSSYULYYZ

Actually, no. It looks like the GE kiosks are almost ready to go, but, as of last Saturday, everyone goes through the same routine with the regular kiosks and then a chat with an officer.Originally Posted by RatherBeInYOW

To paraphrase, the only way you can currently use Nexus on a connection in YYZ terminal 1 is to go through the regular customs area and then to reenter the secure area as if you were starting in Toronto.Originally Posted by kilarney

It depends on the time of day, but it has always been better for me to stay in the secure area.

Hmm... I have definitely used Global Entry kiosks at YUL. But this was not for a connection. I originated at YUL.Originally Posted by mistermap

Ah, I see. Thank you for clarifying that. Originally Posted by mistermap

Bumping up rather than opening a new thread.
I am looking at some 1:10 (YUL) to 1:45 (YVR and YYZ) transborder connections. How doable are they in the current climate without Nexus, etc.?
Also, does having checked luggage make a difference? I recall having to take our checked bags to the transborder section when flying direct out of YEG. Wondering if we'd have to collect them and recheck at the connecting airport.
