US CBP (Customs and Border Protection) MPC (Mobile Passport Control)
I recently travelled to the US via Toronto Pearson and there is an option to use an expedited Customs clearance app. I used the new US CBP (Customs and Border Protection) MPC (Mobile Passport Control) app to get thru customs. You can pre-load the app with your information and the app provides you a timed entry barcode when you arrive at the airport. You have an hour to get thru the Security lines. The app allows you to bypass the general screening line and is very efficient.
I highly recommend that if you are travelling to the US from an airport that allows the use of the MPC app that you take the time to download and set up the app. It is very easy to use and it allowed me to bypass the general line much like using NEXUS! I will definitely be using this every time I travel from now on.
Parking
If you decide to park your car at the airport, pre-purchase your parking ticket for the week as you will get a discount and simply print a copy of the barcode. When you arrive at the airport simply scan your barcode at the machine. When you arrive back home - simply scan the same barcode at the automated gate and the gate will open.
One tip is to make sure to take a picture on your phone of where you parked your car so that you can find it when you return!
