Hi all,

I am hoping that someone will be able to answer this question. We are flying DOH to YUL on QR and then taking DL to DTW. We will have checked luggage.

I'm making the assumption that QR will be able to check our luggage to our destination in the USA.

Given this, what should we expect in terms of transiting at YUL? We will be landing around 1400 and our connecting flight to DTW is around 1730. Will we be able to transit without entering Canada? What documentation would we need to have in hand in order to do so?

Also, given that we have to clear US Customs at YUL, would our luggage show up in the US pre-clearance section where we would have to claim it and then take it through US customs before giving it back to DL?

appreciate any clarity on the above that anyone can provide in terms of what to expect and what to be prepared for?

Additionally, given the ~3.5 hour transit time, would it be wise to fill our ArriveCAN just to be safe?

thanks in advance for your help!
