I’m flying YYZ-FRA-VRN return and my layover in FRA is only 1h 20min on the outbound and 1h 15min on the inbound.

It looks like AC842/843 usually arrives/departs in B20-62, and EN8826/8827 from A1-42. My understanding from the wiki up top is that going from B to A I’ll need to clear security and passport control (not sure why security is needed though, isn’t Canada a “clean” country?). But on the way back I should be able to avoid security and just go through passport control. And both ways I can take the underground tunnel.

It’ll be my first time in FRA (always avoided by going MUC/ZRH, and neither had security checks only passport), so I’m just looking for advice on how worried I should be about a misconnect? I know it’ll be tight, but should I be rushing through or is walking quickly going to be enough?

TIA
In b, the typical transit flow to A you mix with people who are 'unclean', so yes, while you arrive from a clean country you are not kept clean.

provided your inbound is on time you will be fine
