1. Can one bag be shortchecked to YUL and one to YVR? I know agents usually don't shortcheck bags because of hidden city possibilities but if one bag is going all the way does that make a difference?

2. Bags have to be claimed in YUL regardless right? Is the claim area for Canada connections and regular arrivals the same? If so can he claim both bags, put on on the connection belt and hand the other off to relative? In Toronto they are the same but on the AC website it implies that the lines are different by telling you to follow signs to Canada/US/International connections.

Thanks!
1. Don't see why not. On the other hand, who is going to care if you don't check in your 2nd back on the 2nd leg.

2. Yes, and the claim area is the same. After you come out of customs, the drop off belt is immediately ahead of you and the doors to the great outdoors are to your right, so nobody's going to stop you. Enjoy!
