Based on the four times I have entered Canada at YVR from US and Asia, 77 minutes is plenty of time to cross the border-under normal circumstances. As a United passenger flying in the summer of 2015 from SFO, these are not normal circumstances.

It will be mildly stressful to see that inbound aircraft 2 hours late in its route according to FlightAware (and still showing ontime on the UA books) and know that a misconnect probability just skyrocketed.
