I am sending my daughter from Chicago to tel aviv, Israel through Pearson Airport. She will be flying all legs of the trip on Air Canada. Will she have to go through customs in Toronto? Will she have to pick up her bags and recheck them from Toronto to Tel Aviv or will they go through from Chicago to tel avivi? How much time should she allow herself for the process - I can pick a few flights with anywhere form 1 1/2 hour layover to 6 1/2 hour layover. Thank you for your help

I am an Canadian Citizen with a return flight from Madrid Spain to YVR, with a 1 hr 15 min layover at YYZ. Apart from changing planes (luggage will go to final destination, YVR) do I need to go thru customs or security check at YYZ? I want to make sure I have enough time between flights. Thank you.

Yes, you will go through Canadian Immigration, Customs, and security in Toronto. You have just enough time.

My wife cannot walk long distances without pain. Are wheelchairs or other forms of transport between gates available ?

my grandson is travelling on his own Dublin - Toronto - Calgary. In Toronto, he needs to do customs and claim luggage. Can you explain this simply for him - ie where does he go first on arrival (customs or luggage claim?) and what does he do once he gets the luggage? Is there a separate area for all of this? Does he then have to go to check in for Calgary. Many thanks.

Hello, My daugher 13 is flying alone from Quebec City to YYZ, then meeting family in YYZ to continue on to Orlando together. She has 1 hr 38 minutes scheduled connection time. Only after booking the flight did I realize she will have to go though US customs alone in YYZ.. Can someone detail the step by step she will have to go through? Also would it be quicker and better if she had no checked luggage or does it matter? Thank you so much!

Hello, my 13 year old is flying from Quebec City to Orlando. She is doing the Quebec City to YYZ alone and will 1hour and 38 minutes to get to the connection to orlando. All through Air Canada her flights were booked together . Family is meeting her in Toronto and she is going with them to Orlando ( same second flight) Will she have to go through customs alone or is there a place they will meet so she has an adult with her through customs?

The Preclearance hall for connecting passengers is different from the one for passengers originating in Toronto. So she will go through by herself.
