Is there nexus at Billy Bishop Airport?

When arriving at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, pre-approved travellers can use the Nexus kiosks with iris recognition scanning.



Yes, NEXUS services are available at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) for travelers flying between Canada and the United States. While Billy Bishop is smaller than Toronto Pearson (YYZ), it is a designated "Airport of Entry" and features Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) facilities equipped to handle NEXUS cardholders. This allows low-risk, pre-screened travelers to use dedicated lanes or kiosks to speed up their customs and immigration clearance. However, it is important to note that Billy Bishop does not have U.S. Pre-clearance; unlike Pearson, you will clear U.S. Customs upon arrival at your destination in the United States (e.g., Newark or Chicago). The NEXUS kiosks at YTZ are primarily for those arriving back in Canada from the U.S. For frequent business travelers using Porter Airlines or Air Canada, having a NEXUS card remains a major time-saver in the compact, efficient terminal of Toronto’s downtown airport.
