Landing Question - no direct flight

Immigration will be at first port of entry in Canada. Hence it will be in Toronto.

They should be able to place you on the next flight if you miss your flight. I am assuming there will be several flights out of Toronto to Regina on a daily basis. You might want to check that for sure!

No problem. They will put you in the next flight, if it is delayed in the immigration.

I've been to a Canadian Orientation Abroad seminar in March, organized by IRCC and IOM, and they mentioned this common myth.
The truth is, it's not the air carrier's responsibility to make sure you can clear the immigration formalities and board your next flight.
The IOM officer said there have been a few exceptional cases where the air carrier had unoccupied seats on the next flight to the newcomer's destination, and they offered them out of goodwill. We can't expect, much less demand that.

Make sure you have enough time to clear immigration, and, as M.Mostafa and ttrajan already said, immigration will be at your first PoE simply because you'll be boarding a domestic flight afterwards and won't be crossing Canadian border again.

Very true. That is why airports have different terminals for domestic flights and international flights. Terminals for international flight arrivals have to go through immigration counters (mandatory). From Toronto to SK is a domestic flight and you will not go through immigration counters. Right after you land in SK, you will be headed directly to baggage claim and you will be going on your way.

Good luck!

Correct. I called to Airlines and confirm it. Immigration will be @Toronto as Toronto to Regina is a domestic flight.

Hello Rcoder13,
