Is a 55min connection from schengen to non-schengen doable? non-EU passport.

I've booked:
VIE-BRU (OS)
BRU-YUL(AC)

No status, both flights are in J, not sure if there are any priority security/immigration lanes at BRU

There's only 1 flight a day, so rather not miss it

55 minutes?????

I think that booking this is a foolish mistake. The odds of a misconnection are high.

No, they are not. (If this is on one ticket, of course...)

This is a pretty standard connection at BRU. Security is not an issue (since there will be none at BRU in this scenario), so the only possible issue is the waiting time at passport control. And they are used to people on a short connection passing through there. (If you feel that you're running late, talk to one of the stewards at the beginning of the lines.)

Thanks. Yes, it's on 1 ticket. I was on the fence if I should keep this itinerary or not since I believe the MCT was 50min. The other option available right now is to connect via MUC instead, but that is an 8-9hr layover, which doesn't sound fun either.
