Hi everyone, a bunch of questions for anyone who recently travelled from Delhi to Toronto via another stop in Canada (in my case Montreal)
My parents are coming in three days - Delhi to Toronto via Montreal.
I have a few questions for you if you could please answer at earliest:
1. The immigration formalities will happen at Montreal or Toronto Airport ?
2. The covid test that happens at landing, will be taken in Montreal or Toronto ?
3. The flight layover at Montreal is 3 hours - and they have to take the luggage from the first flight and submit for the next one as well in this time window ? Is that quite possible based on your parents experience (the other option I am thinking for is go to Montreal airport for them)
4. For Arrive CAN app - in airport for arrival - should we register - Montreal or Toronto ?
5 If the testing, immigartion and luggage everything is happening at first port of entry - that is montreal, what order do these three go in ?
I know these are a lot of questions, but any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi my mom came a month ago and she did same route except it was delhi to Montreal to calgary.
1. Immigration formality will be at Port of entry which in your case is montreal so thats where everything will happen.
2.my mom didn't had to take any test in canada. She just did her rt pcr in New Delhi 6hrs before flying and she didn't have to do test as she was fully vaccinated. Make sure they have report handy with all the info printed on the paper.
3.for luggage change,call the airline call centre as they can guide you better. For eg in our case air canada didn't do Direct transfer,my mom had to collect it from Montreal airport after immigration etc was done and drop it off for domestic flight. So double check with the airline some might do Direct transfer of luggage. Three hrs may be okay. If not and if picking them is not a hassle then do that.
4.in airport arrival for Arrive CAN would be Montreal even though they are going to Toronto. Once you put in flight details it will automatically use Montreal if it doesn't let you put it in directly.
5. So double check the testing part if it's required or not. They would do immigration first and once they get the stamp they would go collect their luggage and drop it off for domestic flight at their counter and then proceed to the gate.
I hope this helps. Enjy time with your family
