Yes, I have done exactly that a few weeks ago.

No you don't have to go through immigration. I only had handluggage though. Don't know what happens if you have checked baggage.

After exiting the EY plane just follow the signs to the transfer desk. They will call RJ staff to bring your BP. Be prepared for a long wait, so bring patience and a book. RJ staff was doing regular checkin at the counters when I arrived at the transferdesk, so nobody had time to come over and I had to wait 90 min. And actually longer because when I arrived at the transfer desk, it was 3,5 hours before the RJ flight and there was nobody from RJ available. So in total I waited almost 2 hours at the transfer desk. They have chairs there.

And you have to hand over your passport which will be out of sight for the time you have to wait. But don't worry, it will work out fine.
