Re: 1st Landing and layover
I think if you look/select Westjet you should know you’ll need to change terminals at Toronto. That’s a PIA also particularly with children.

Re: 1st Landing and layover
Why not stay the night at a Toronto hotel, the trip PLUS your landing is gonna be hard enough with jet lag. You could stay at the Sheraton Gateway, it is an in-airport hotel you get at from elevators in terminal 3.
Easy to get between terminals, just hop on the free automated 'link train' monorail, one every few minutes between t1 and t3. Not wonderfully signposted, just ask airport staff. http://torontopearson.com/en/link/# We use this every time we are at Toronto airport as we park at the Value Park multi-storey and it makes getting to the terminals really easy.

Re: 1st Landing and layover
Toronto "DownTown" is quite a long way from the airport and there's not too much different there for one night than there is in Mississauga (near the airport with airport shuttles)
All you do is spend way more $$$$$$ doing it - Wayyyyyy more !
read alot of the responses and I think it's not impossible to land , grab your bags and get on the booked flight (especially if the outbound is running a little late)
Are dealing with immigration at Toronto or just passing through?
If you;re dealing with immigration then no, you'll not make it - No chance
But to get on with it and get through - You might stand a chance.

Even if all the family were Canadian nationals, there are two adults, one child, one infant and associated luggage. To try to do that in 1 hour 20 minutes isn't taking a chance, it's crazy!

The OP and his family are flying in from the UK for first landing on a visa.
