I flew through YYZ over last summer but used Terminal 1. Flew in on Air Canada. As someone who is used to DFW Airport and waiting in like for anywhere between 15 minutes-3 hours, when I arrived at YYZ, it was such a breeze. I wish more US Airports had that.
You are correct that Pearson airport is located in Mississauga (it once was Malton); however it isn't in Rexdale or Etobicoke which are part of the city of Toronto. However some of the nearby hotels are there, on the other side of the Mississauga-Toronto border (I grew up in Etobicoke, near the airport). Rexdale is a neighbourhood in Etobicoke. Apparently they've had have egates in Terminal 1 since 2022. Like you, I think most Canadians use the terms baggage or luggage interchangeably.
Last time I went through customs in Toronto they yelled at me to get off my phone when I was waiting in line then got yelled at again for touching the counter .
I think you can have up to 5 family members on an eGate slip. I think if a person is under 16 or without passport they have to be on the parent's eGate slip. Thank you for watching!
@@leonardsheatravel Now I get it, tnx! P.s. regarding Canada, so far I managed to do Montreal in 2022 and Calgary in 2024...looking forward to see Toronto soon. Im happy Canada eliminated visa requirements for our people who want to make tourist trips over there...things are much easier this way ;)
I love Toronto Pearson Airport, we've been twice (2023 and 2024) and it was absolutely seamless - the longest wait being for the bags. Never had an issue here
Sorry I have to comment You keep referring to the Primary Inspection Kiosks as “eGates” This is not correct eGates are for Nexus passengers only and are only available in terminal 1 as of right now
I am loving the eGates as it speeds up the customs process and no intimidating stares from the Customs Officers. LOL
So much faster! Thank you for watching!
I remember this very well through my travels. Enjoyed watching my friend. Great job!

I prefer to arrive during the night as it’s less traffic! Good to see the arrival process improved! 👍

Hahaha! Not good. I heard it is getting better lately. Let me know when you come back and if it is the same. Thank you for watching!
I don’t mind going to the airport going to my destination but dread it coming home!!!😫😫😫😫. Reality sets in!!! LOL
Hahaha! Yes...post vacation blues! Thank you for watching!
Wear comfortable shoes as you are doing a lot of walking at the airport!!!! 🚶♀️🛫
one time i have a connecting flight at toronto and what i experienced is really horrible. disorganized and passengers are not following orders.
They said it was the worst airport in North America last year. I think it is getting better. I HOPE it is getting better. Thank you for watching!
You need patience to get through the airport! LOL
Yes! Thank you for watching!
Leonard, are you from Canada.
P.S. 3:34 - why does it say "family" ? are PIK kiosks at this position not intended for people arriving solo?
I think you can have up to 5 family members on an eGate slip. I think if a person is under 16 or without passport they have to be on the parent's eGate slip. Thank you for watching!
