Kelowna airport is small, not sure about private aircraft arriving from outside of Canada, but Alaska had to cease service to Seattle when the government restricted arrivals to a handful of airports, sucky as the Seattle service is convenient if flying to west coast of the US somewhere and so single connection where connecting via YVR depending on destination may have to connect again in the US, and added cost as connecting via YVR and flying on a Canadian airline jacks the price up, if I wanted to fly to see my dad, I now have to connect in YVR and either SFO/LAX/Denver start with Air Canada then connect onto United, takes most of the day, and costs $800 per passenger, so I will never do that because that is a complete rip off, but when Alaska is an option, its 1 connection in Seattle, and half the price.

Are you only Canadian? What's your home passport?
Canadian, British and one other EU country.

Lawmakers as well as the CBSA are still bound by the rules set in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. That's how I understand it.

Anyone know if this has settled down a bit now?

Apparently not.

Besides flights from Amsterdam or Frankfurt to Toronto are a fortune at the moment. However there are some good deals to Calgary, plus spending a bit of time in Calgary and then a domestic flight to Toronto ( they are not too expensive at the moment ) are probably the better choice and even financially the same, if not even less.....

I've also heard that Montreal is also a good choice, there are reports of 15 to 20 minutes at passport control, baggage claim and customs.
