First landing

[abhisheknair1989]

Hello,

I received my copr and visa stamped n its time to travel soon.

Following is my flight route (all air canada):
Mumbai -- frankfurt -- vancouver -- edmonton.

My first landing is in vancouver and where my landing interview will be done.

My flight app shows that i do not need to collect my checked in bag until edmonton.
Should i collect my bag first in vancouver n check in again for edmonton ?
Will the bag be available for me to collect in vancouver or will it go directly to edmonton?

This is not a question for this forum. It's a question for your airline. Oftentimes your bag will be sent through to the final destination regardless but you'll need to confirm.

You pick up your bag at your first point of entry into Canada which is Vancouver , go thru customs , then drop off on the connection belt

Yeah, this is a Canadian VISA forum, not an airline information desk Try to ask your airline carrier.

I believe first landing is a part of this wait!
Hope it helps out anyone having the same dilemma without having to call up airlines.

All on Air Canada site although I would go with the option that says you collect at Vancouver and drop off at a connections drop off point given Frankfurt is only a transit not the origin point so the Europe comment in link possibly does not apply. Airline should be able tell you at checkin. You need to allow 2-3 hours for the connection to Edmonton to complete a landing by the way

It really depends. In my experience, my bags have usually ended up checked in all the way through to my final destination, no rechecking required. But if you are using multiple airlines, there's a better chance you'll have to pick up your bags. As folks have been saying, this is outside the scope of this forum, and you're better off asking the airline this question. Good luck with your landing!
