Hello,
We are going to land soon to Halifax through Toronto via AIR CANADA but problem is we have only 1.4hr layover time. Do you think it will enough to collect bags, customs and immigration? Thanks

No. That is not enough connection time for you to go through landing ............ it would not be enough time for a resident to return to Canada, and clear customs and immigration.

Toronto is a very busy airport. It is also a large airport, and you will have quite a distance to walk between Customs and Immigration and Domestic departures.

You need to change that connection ..... I would be tempted to suggest that you allow 4-5 HOURS between landing and boarding your next flight.

No - you are toast!

You need to read the conditions attached to your flight booking. Sometimes a flight time/date can be changed if you pay a fee. If your booking conditions don't allow any changes to the flight, even for a fee, then you have no option but to cancel the flight out of Toronto and book another one that allows you enough time to collect your baggage and clear customs and immigration.

Its saying following :
Date Changes Before Departure - Not Permitted
Date Changes Before Inbound Departure - Not Permitted
Cancellation Fees Before Departure - No Refunds
Cancellation Fees After Departure / No Shows / Partly Used Tickets - No Refunds

This was your mistake mate (possibly abetted by an incompetent travel agent). You'll have to buy later flights from YYZ to Halifax. Make sure you only check your bags through to YYZ at your departure airport though.

Sorry, looks like booking a new flight out of Toronto is your only option.

I agree this is quite a frequent occurrence be it the traveller booking themselves or using 3rd parties they often overlook connection times and book flights that cannot be changed as doing this might cost more money. Some airlines will honour a missed connecting flight and some will make you pay for a new connecting flight.

Thanks Again everyone. Please tell me best place(Link) to buy air Canada domestic ticket. Also Baggage, it ll be 3-4 big one(23kg<=)and we are 2 adults,1 kid and 1 infant. I can't see any baggage allowance in their website .

Now begs the question if the website will allow you to book. I am pretty sure you could use Expedia to book a domestic flight if the Air Canada link doesn't.

Why does it have to be Air Canada from Toronto to Halifax?

Try Westjet or Porter, both direct on their own websites

The problem in using Porter is that you'd need to get from Pearson to Billy Bishop, as I don't think they fly from Pearson, so your other suggestion of WestJet would probably be best. It does seem that from Pearson it's only Air Canada or WestJet, with a lot more AC flights, so maybe that's the reason for the mention of AC


I also echo others comments that the layover time is just not long enough. I usually figure around an hour from getting off the plane to being out of the airport for a normal trip, and that is just a regular international incoming flight as a Canadian citizen.
I think when I first came over and got my work permit the whole process was probably about two and half hours from plane to exit.
