We do have Nexus cards which should help though. Any advice? (or directions as YYZ is new to me).
1h25 International to domestic Connection time is doable --I've done this process in 1h15 with a few minutes to spare. Nexus should help during the peak times.
If you are curious about the process, the Greater Toronto Airport Authority has put together a photo-realistic animated video that guides you through the process.
Click here then click "Terminal 1 Connections" and finally select "International to Canada."
One thing the video clip does not talk about is you must clear CATSA security before entering the domestic sterile area. This can be done on the 2nd or 3rd floor regular checkpoints.
Another thing that I always reccomend is to be sure to fill out the customs declaration forms
before departing your origin airport (in your case
LHR)
In the event that your LHR flight is severely delayed, enquire at the service desk or gate podium to see if there are later flights to YYC.
Hope I have helped!
