GVA>ZRH (Geneva to Zurich) - Swiss Airlines (codeshare through AC)
1hr 30min layover
ZRH>YYZ (Zurich to Toronto) - AC

All flights are booked on one itinerary. I called AC and they said I should be able to make all connections but I am worried I won’t have enough time to make it through connections, especially if I need to go through security or if I need to get and re-check baggage.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
On your outbound trip, I would be more comfortable with a longer lay over in Geneva, 50 minutes is tight and you may have to clear passport control. Your luggage will be checked through to the final destination since they are all Star Alliance, but I would ask when checking in to make sure.

Personally, with that many connections, I would do carry-on if you can.
