contents We give a new definition -- and in some cases, a new construction -- of integral canonical models of Shimura varieties that uses the notion of an aperture appearing in work of Gardner--Madapusi on some conjectures of Drinfeld. This applies to Shimura varieties of pre-abelian type at odd primes of hyperspecial level, recovering and extending previous work of Kisin, Kim--Madapusi and Imai--Kato--Youcis, but also to exceptional Shimura varieties for large enough primes. The characterization in the exceptional case is \emph{a priori} different from the one recently shown by Bakker--Shankar--Tsimerman, and recovers many of their results, such as the existence of prime-to-$p$ Hecke operators, the non-emptiness of the $μ$-ordinary stratum and the theory of the canonical lift. In fact, we give a uniform proof of the non-emptiness of \emph{all} possible Newton strata, and of the non-emptiness of Ekedahl--Oort strata and central leaves as well. An important ingredient in the proofs is a generalization of Tate's full faithfulness theorem for $p$-divisible groups to the context of apertures. This leads to a mapping property for the integral canonical model that characterizes maps into it from all normal, flat and excellent schemes over $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$.
