They could setup a dedicated flight connections immigration check though, that seems to help a lot.
Having done outbound Intl-to-Intl connections at both YYZ and YUL, the mechanism in place there would be a
vast improvement over what is currently required. As you imply, the dedicated flight connection stream makes all the difference. The introduction of through-checked baggage at some ports of entry is a step in the right direction as noted earlier.
