The only time I used Nexus for a non-US flight was Dublin, and they didn’t ask to also see my passport.

A dozen officers doing the same thing coming off AC881 last week, and not polite about it at all. "Passports out!" Many passengers had them in their purses or carry-ons. Last time I saw anything like this was in US a couple of times shortly after 9-11.

It does happen occasionally. It could be a random spot check. It's probably more likely they were looking for a particular individual, but checking all passports along the way.

Is there an official rule about domestic only? I have a couple of flights coming up from YYZ (T1 & T3) and would like to use the Nexus lane, but I’d rather not have to bring my passport.

Before the international gates, is there any security screening? The kind that takes away your liquids?

No additional outbound security - just a cursory passport and boarding pass check with an immigration agent, then you are released into the international departures concourse.

Interesting comparison to TPE where at least in transit they do ask you to keep everything in your hand luggage. Laptops inside, no removal of belt and shoes etc. But it could be different if you are departing from TPE.

Honestly, this happens every few months/years at YYZ and other Canadian airports. They "pilot" against Nexus to keep everything in the bags including liquids, electronics, etc. Then suddenly they will halt the pilot and go back to the usual MO. Rinse and repeat. While I love the current Nexus approach at YYZ, just chuck your bag in the bin and that's it, I'm not going to hold my breath this is the new 'standard' for more than a few weeks or month.
