| May 2, 2019 at 13:56 | comment | added | jcaron | @MichaelSeifert Ah, I had missed the fact the OP had written they were flying Air Canada. The Connection Guide result is indeed quite different in this case, it's directly to security and US Pre-clearance. It doesn't mention a visa in this case, but this is incorrect, OP definitely needs one (either a transit visa or a visitor visa). | |

| May 2, 2019 at 13:35 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | @jcaron: As far as I can tell, you can avoid the CBSA if you're staying inside Terminal 1, which is used by Air Canada & all other Star Alliance airlines (plus Etihad). The OP said that they were flying on Air Canada, but I suppose it's possible they're connecting from or to a non-Star Alliance airline. I'll edit to clarify. | |
| May 2, 2019 at 13:02 | comment | added | jcaron | When I tried the connections guide with a BA flight from LHR connecting to an AA flight to MIA, it told be I would have to go through immigration, reclaim bags, go through customs, and then on to US pre-clearance. Maybe this varies based on the combination of airlines/flights/terminals. | |

| May 2, 2019 at 12:35 | comment | added | BritishSam | Do you know their citizenship? | |
