Stop right there!

There was a ex-YYZ fare deal last year and I did tons of those. It was a great learning experience regarding YYZ.

Toronto Pearson "YYZ" Terminal 3 Connection Info

Same Plane Connection – NOT POSSIBLE, all Pax must clear Canadian Immigration and Pre-Clear for US CBP at Toronto Pearson Terminal 3

Basic Process
All Times given are suggested Brisk Walking speed, I take no responsibility should either immigrations want to put you in a holding cell

1) Get off at Gate A11-19 (Mainline), Gate A9 (Eagle)
2) Walk to Canadian Immigration “CBSA”, (Mainline Walk 7-10 Mins, Eagle Walk 5 Mins)
3) Canadian Immigration “CBSA”(Nexus 2 Mins, Non-Expedited 2-60 Mins)
4) Proceed through Canadian Immigration, through Baggage claim to Customs exit (4 mins)
*Customs Officer will collect your declaration form here, if you’ve pissed off your Immigration Officer, you’ll get pulled over for a Secondary here
5) International Arrivals to US departure, go upstairs and all the way back down to the other end of the Terminal (5-7 Mins)
6) Check-In for your ex-YYZ American Flight if you haven’t done so upstream
7) US CBP (Nexus/Global Entry 2 mins, Non-Expedited 5 Mins - God Know's How Long)
8) Pass your US Customs officer your Declaration Form and drop off any check bag if required, walk to security (1-2 Mins)
9) Security, Priority AAccess Available (1-30 Mins)
10) The Admiral’s Club is to Your Right once passed Security
Say Hello to Our Wonderful YYZ AAngels
If you have Irrop, they can seriously save you’re a$$
Or
Proceed To Gate (Eagle 3 Mins from Security, Mainline Gate A11 – A13 2-4 Minutes, Gate A14 – A19, 5 – 7 Mins)
All the above info is assuming, you are flying AA. If there is a terminal change, add more time. In other words, 50mins is not gonna happen.
