Maybe not. Flew into YVR at the start of last month on BA and they announced as we were getting off the plane that BA do not interline any bags at Vancouver. All pax had to collect them, even though the airport is well set-up for airside transit.
On the plus side at least immigration are both personable and professional. We were in the airport's Fairmont hotel probably 45mins after wheels down and that was with a case to collect.
