Upon arrival at YYZ, you'll see signs for CUSTOMS A and CUSTOMS B. CUSTOMS B is an immigration checkpoint for those who are connecting to an international flight. Clearing immigration at CUSTOMS B usually takes 5 minutes or less. You'll be at the gate for your GRU departure within 10 minutes of leaving CUSTOMS B. Checked bags, if you have them, don't need to be picked up.

If you return GRU-MSP via YYZ the procedure will differ since you'll pre-clear US customs before boarding your YYZ-MSP flight.
Thanks so much for the details! I really appreciate it.
I will go ahead and book my tickets.
