Don`t forget to bring a warm jacket with you, it`s getting cold in Canada now. You can actually handcarry your laptop and some small electronic items(cellphone,mp3). As far as i can remember you`re not allowed to handcarry liquid items and aerosol that are more than 100ml(shampoo, lotion, hairspray). You`re allowed to handcarry items that are contained in a 100ml container placed on a clear plastic bag or ziploc bag. You have to handcarry any valuables but if you got 10,000dollars or more with you, you have to declare it at custom.
And don`t forget to have your documents and contact persons/numbers in Canada. Bring chewing gums too, i find these helpful especially when the plane rises to a higher altitude, my ears were popping and it was a long flight.
