Does yvr (vancover) have goes machines??

We were not sure if GOES (global access) is up and running at YVR,

It was a Tronto recently. Thanks for any information.

I would say YES for at least a few years. Is Nexus the same as GOES?

Here's the airport contact info to verify...

If you mean the Trusted Traveler program Global Entry (where you scan your iris at a machine?) it certainly is available at YVR airport and accepts NEXUS, SENTRI and Global Entry membership. Not at Canada Place though unfortunately. Relevant web page with locations (scroll up for more info about the kiosks)

The U.S. machines are only for U.S. preclearance. Not for entry into Canada.

Yes there are US Global Entry/Nexus machines at the US CBP pre-clearance facility. YVR is a major entry point into the United States (I know that sounds wrong); with the US CBP clearing twice as many flights into the USA at YVR as they do at Seattle.
