I found this link that explains the procedure (scroll down to Arrival Procedure for CIQ:

Hope that helps.
Thank you very much. So I suppose I will just go straight to Arrivals for immigration clearance first, then later in the day (or on the next day FWIW) board the ongoing domestic flight and clear customs at destination.

Having looked at a few video reviews, these transit passengers usually get the “International Baggage Claim” sticker to identify themselves at destination airport. Do I need to get one somewhere to go through to international carousel for baggage collection and customs?
