Is a 3h15m layover enough time for landing?

Hello. I got my PPR today.

I'm planning to move to the Yukon. I could only find one route in December (when I plan to go) that doesn't take more than 40 hours in total from my city to my final destination. That route takes about 24h in total. All the other routes take from 40 to 50 hours, if not more. The thing is, there is only a 3h15m layover in Vancouver (where I would complete my landing) and the other flight to the Yukon is by a different airline than the one that arrives in Vancouver.

Do you think those 3 hours are enough to go through immigration, complete landing, get my luggage, go to the domestic flights area, dispatch my luggage again to the second airline and board the other flight?

Are all of your flights booked through a single ticket?

No. I can't find this route on kiwi.com anymore (hope one of the flights hasn't been sold out ), but it should 4 flights and 3 different airlines (3 tickets).

It's risky then. Any of your flights could be delayed. If they aren't on a single ticket and you miss the flight, you lose that flight and have to buy a new one.

I would try to get your first and second flights on a single ticket and then overnight in Vancouver and fly the next day.

Ok. I've been able to find some itineraries around the 35h range, so I think I'll book one of those, which should give me more time for delays and landing. Thank you.
