I can't remember 100% but I think it was about 20 minutes for bags to arrive once I was at baggage claim. It was only the VS flight waiting; I think BA was cancelled that day.
SEA you do the same, bags then immigration. Being in Upper, bags out first and then about 5 mins to get through immigration
