Will I need to clear immigration and check bags once again or bags go throw from NH to AC?
Is 1 hour and 20 min at ORD, arriving from NRT on NH and connecting to YYZ on AC, feasible? Do I have to change terminals?
You'll have to clear immigration and recheck bags at ORD. NH arrives at T5 and AC departs from T2 so you'll have a terminal change. In addition the train between T5 and T3/2/1 is down this whole summer https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unit...ll-2019-a.html which means the transfer will take even more time and I think most would agree that an 80 minute connection won't be ideal. Additionally since you're bellow MCT your ticket will have to be rebooked regardless, so I'd call in and get it done if NH / whoever issued the ticket hasn't contacted you yet.
