Default Halifax customs and immigration

If you are a Canadian born citizen and taking a direct flight from
Halifax airport to Boston, where do you clear customs and immigration?
Thanks

Right now, Boston. Eventually, Halifax.

Thanks Geoff,
One more question,
Is it sufficient to have an ID and birth certificate?

I read the source that you provided and have two more questions:

Is not having preclearance in Halifax a bad thing? Is it more of a
hassle?

Also one of the posts says " Since most international pax must now be
fingerprinted and have their photo taken (US-VISIT), such delays are
more likely." Do they fingerprint Canadians?

If you were born in Canada or the US, all you need is proof of
citizenship and a photo ID. A birth certificate is acceptable for proof
of citizenship, but make sure it is an original, with the government
seal, and not a photocopy. A passport, even an expired one, provides
both requirements.

Preclearance means that you can hit the ground running at your
destination, and not have to line up with hoards of people arriving from
overseas flights to clear customs and immigration. In general, it's a
good thing.

Also one of the posts says " Since most international pax must now be
fingerprinted and have their photo taken (US-VISIT), such delays are

Natural-born Canadian citizens are not fingerprinted, yet.

So only cloned Canadians and those whose mothers needed medical help at the
time of delivery need to be fingerprinted?
