Enrollment on Arrival is available at YYZ only during the US immigration and customs inspections prior to departure to the US. You will need a ticket to fly to the United States and present yourself for US CBP inspections for admission to the United States in order to have a Global Entry enrollment interview at a pre-clearance facility.

From the CBP website which is linked in the wikipost at the top of every page in this thread:

Enrollment on Arrival (EoA) is CBP program that allows Global Entry applicants who are conditionally approved to complete their interviews upon arrival into the United States. The EoA program eliminates the need for a Global Entry applicant to schedule an interview at an enrollment center to complete the application process.
As 1KChinito wrote above, you can try to schedule an enrollment interview at the YYZ Enrollment Center during your stay in Toronto.

Still waiting for the interview...

Still looking for an appointment in my hometown enrollment center.

I think My hometown airport hasn’t started to interview because I keep checking online 2 or 3 times a day since CA approval on Nov 16th and each time it says theres\ are no appointments available.
And I keep getting emails from ‘[email protected], saying I can use the ‘interview on arrival’ option.
My understanding is, this is only upon arrival from an international trip.
Since international travel is restricted due to COVID, is the GID interview upon arrival is open for domestic travelers? I wish it is, since my hometown airport has not opened for interviews.

I believe they are. But best to follow up on the following thread dedicated to Enrollment on Arrival.

Hello ​​​​​​slumb3r,

I moved your question to the relevant thread.

The answer is yes.

From the CBP website:

Enrollment on Arrival has remained operational and that program remains the best option for conditionally approved Global Entry applicants to complete the enrollment process without pre-scheduling an interview.

Hi,
​​​​​​
Apologies if already answered, but what signage am I looking for?

Is it just the regular global entry? Do I use Global Entry in the normal way and then speak to the officer or something else?

Bit confused.

At ORD I had to go to a specific entry desk. Somewhere on the GE website they list the procedures for specific airports.

Was it a space that was otherwise handling regular passengers? In other words, are they Under Pressure to just get people through or do they have plenty of time for a more extended interview if the message on the computer has further information for clarification?

No, it was a special line. The others in line had a X on their GE receipts but were mostly crew members. This was in Oct 2019. You really need to get the current information from the GE website.

Use this link and check for details specific to your arriving port of entry to the United States.

As to "Under Pressure" - absolutely not. Expect that any agent working at the border to take just as much time as they deem necessary to decide the disposition of the person they are speaking with. The number of people waiting in line has no bearing, rather, each agent is potentially held responsible for each individual they admit, so expect each agent to make that determination depending on the person standing in front of them, and not the length of the queue.

Hi all,

I was finally going to schedule my GE interview (conditionally approved, renewal) @ JFK -but- I remembered all the EoA emails I've been getting from GE. So now I'm thinking about just doing EoA during my return from an In'tl trip next month, but I need a new picture taken for my GE card. Will they accomodate such request during EoA? Would appreciate if anyone has any insight or feedback. Thanks.

EoA does everything that a regular interview appointment will do.

Yes. The main difference -- relevant to some more than others -- is that EOA most commonly doesn't come with a place to sit down while engaged in the "interview" process.

Thank you mnbp GUWander

Doing EoA sounds perfect for my situation then! I appreciate the response.
