But flight was quite late, my net connection was ~20min for all below.
Immigration: arrival gate was A61 (so rather far out). Despite feedback in appstore, I gave the eDeclaration app a try -- and
it did work, the additional "cannabis question" came up on the Kiosk.. scan Passport, take a pic. Get a lousy thermopaper
receipt and off to CBSA officer. What are you here for, how many pcs checked luggage and bam, in there.
More corridor hunting (with directions) to the belt, ~5min later bag in hand and with more directions (signs and in person)
off to the domestic belt or whatever.
More directions to go the gate (A25) .. failed that and found myself landside without realizing I am "leaving".
So after quick prodding reentering via "VIP" security and off to A25.. to find out the flight to YUL is an hour late.

Forgive me, I was not checking airside lounge access :-}
The magic int'l belt - is it a special belt for connecting flights only OR is it the generic belt that everyone picks up their luggage from even if YUL is their final destination? 20 minutes is good! If only I manage things that quickly!
