Where do I pick up my luggage when transferring from International to US @ YYZ
Just wondering if anybody went through this, I am doing PEK-YYZ-LAS. From the GTAA website, they said i need to go through "Canada Border Services Agency & U.S. Customs and Border Protection", would I pick up my luggage @ the regular luggage belt? or before US customs? appreciate answers in advance

Provided your entire itinerary is on AC/US/UA and your bags are thru checked, then you arrive in T1, follow the signs towards Canadian Customs "A" but immediately before entering the customs queue make a hard left towards "US Connections"... you'll have your own "US Connections" carousel to claim your bags and then go through US CBP.

I´ve flown Europe-YYZ-US several times and guess the procedure is the same:
- follow the signs for Canada and US connections
- follow the signs for US connections in the waiting hall where pax queue up for Canadian customs
- there is a designated luggage belt for pax connecting to the US (can take up to an hour for the luggage to be on the belt)
- go through customs / immigration
