Connecting in Toronto
Posting on behalf of my manager-- just want to verify something. He is flying from NRT to YYZ, and connecting to a flight to BOS. We think he needs to clear US customs in Canada, but just want to make sure that is the case and he won't end up clearing US customs in BOS. He wants to be sure this is the case, as it will determine whether he checks or carries on bags. Thanks.

new procedure on connecting in YYZ
I connected to a US-bound flight, in YYZ last week, and discovered there is now a new procedure for connecting bags! You don't have to retrieve your checked luggage any longer, it just follows you:

Weird setup. In YHZ it is the other way round: First "security", then US Immigration. If the security check works, it reduces the risk for US officers. And if you don't pass security, there is no need to undergo the immigration procedure.
