POE ENTRY AND BAGGAGE CLAIM

[mahigau44]

Greetings,
I’ve received my student visa to Canada and will be traveling there soon. My college is at Toronto, but while traveling my transit is at Montreal. As I’ve already booked the connecting flight up to Toronto as my final destination, my POE to Canada will be Montreal. I am aware that my immigration process will take place at Montreal but I’m confused about the baggage claim? My baggage tag has final destination as Toronto but my POE is Montreal. Do I have claim my baggage at POE and re check-in again or will I receive it at Toronto itself at the end of my travel destination?
Thank you!

Thank you!

Even though it is tagged to YYZ you will have to claim it in YUL for your Immigration processing, then take it to the check in counter for it to go to YYZ. There are counters that are specifically to just drop baggage off, look for that counter.
