I have a 22 hra layover in Vancouver. Do you think I can try to get wait list for earlier flight. I am.on a international flight. Also if not, what can I do in that time? Thanks

Hi. Wife and may be flying only Air Canada from Victoria (YYJ) to San Diego (SAN), with a 1.5 hour layover in Vancouver (YVR). How does that work for US customs' new enhanced pre-clearance?
As there is no preclearance in YYJ, will we then have to book separate flight legs instead?

I have a 5hr (almost 6) layover at YVR (Manila-Vancouver-Edmonton) and plan to meet up with a friend at the departure terminal for a quick chat. Is it possible? If yes, how?

I have a 3 hour layover on a flight from Kamloops before a flight to Toronto. Is it a challenge to exit security to meet a friend for lunch and passing back in before my second flight? Canadian citizen flying on one ticket so no baggage issues.
ZAP 03/16/2017
It's enough time if you can eat lunch in an hour.

Hello,
I am flying from PDX and connecting a flight to PEK. The lay over time is 1 hour. Since I am not Canadian or US citizen, do I need to clear the custom? Should I do the security check again?

US Permanent residents do not need a visa to visit or transit Canada, however, you do have to complete eTA.

I am planning to Travel from Sydney to Toronto via Vancouver International by AC34, Connect in airport only allowed only 1.30hrs. Is this time enough for me to transfer ?
(also both Sydney to YVR and YVR to YYZ both says AC34.)

Yes, that is enough time.
