Hey, so connecting flight from the UK was completely full in 2 rows of 2. The flight from Amsterdam was about half full, maybe a bit more. No one was sitting in a full row of 3, there was either 2 or 1 person in each. It was relatively well spread out to begin with but with quite a few empty seats towards the rear. Once the seat belt signs were switched off they offered / got a few people to move to the back so spread out more.
Amsterdam airport was fine - not empty but not packed either. Your gate shows as E1 but this is where you do your health screening then get told where your gate is during that. Its pretty efficient. As said in previous post the guy from KLM checking documents just before the flight was a bit iffy, I am not sure what would have happened if his colleague didn't intervene and say it was fine to not have a job offer as well. This was the worst and most worrying part of the trip by far.
At Toronto you first have to go through where it 'Permanent Residents' - you can't miss it - then go to a machine to scan your passport, answer questions etc. I found this a little confusing as technically wasn't a PR yet but just got told it was fine (that was the most confusing part for me as haven't seen it mentioned before so wanted to point it out!). Then after that everything is pretty clear / obvious.
Hope that helps - good luck!
