This is all on AC metal and in T1. What are my overnight options?

You can always check the ARRIVALS on the official YYZ website to gauge congestion.

I'm sitting here now in T3 after clearing in 20 minutes through T1 from door open in the 787 to walking out of customs.

Landed at 450 AM and the next flight from New Delhi was landing at 530 or so.......nothing else around so no problem at all. Very efficient just like pre-covid.

With some international travel coming up, I'm eager to hear other people's experiences arriving at YYZ, especially as testing increases...

Arrived at T1 Tuesday 10pm from the US, there were no waits. CBSA agent did not ask to see my COVID test nor ArriveCan app.

The test was checked during your check in.

I will report my coming Tuesday evening YYZ T3 non-US arrival experience when it happens. (If it happens)

Last time the CBSA agent did ask to see COVID vaccination proof and they've always checked ArriveCan in my past experiences.

Any experiences regarding the arrival testing at YYZ? Especially the return-times for the test results are of high interest. I'm planning a 6-day-stay and just don't want to spend 50% of that in quarantine...

Any experiences in last week for T3 arrivals? I arrive on DL at 230pm tomorrow. Has there been any testing waits or are they doing mostly send home tests? I’m pretty sure they will flag me for testing as I’ve been to Mexico, Brazil, France, and Germany in last 7 days.

Arrived Dec 14 T3 delayed CX826. Landed at 2116h. held on the plane due to crowded customs hall.
Long lineup at kiosk and see CBSA officer.
Once done picked up bags and out the door into the terminal.
Line dived into a test and no test. Showed passport decal (green) and was told I was exempted from the test.

I've managed to avoid connecting in YYZ for a number of years. What is the situation like in T3 for connections (US to domestic)? Arriving from LGA and transferring to a flight to YVR. I seem to remember you had to exit customs and go back through security etc with everyone else just checking in at YYZ.
