Thing is, I've never flown in and out of Canada.

On the outbound, do I have to do any immigration into Canada or am I just a transit passenger. Is there a terminal change. I can't seem to find much gate info on the BA website.

On the return I overnight in Vancouver so I know I will have to do Canadian immigration and customs. Which is better to use, an American or British passport?

Flying YVR-DFW the following day, how does US immigration and custom work on that? Is it the full thing just as if I was flying in from London.

Sorry for the dumb questions. I've been to just about every country in the northern hemisphere but always manage to avoid Canada. Until now.
If you are starting in the U.S. you will have to clear Customs and immigration in Canada and bring your luggage to BA. So leave at least two hours.
