Most international flight arrival passengers land at Terminal 1 in Toronto. This massive terminal handles flights from Europe, Asia and beyond daily. Your terminal arrival spot depends on your airline and departure city. We have spent over eight years learning every corner of this airport. The arrival gates spread across multiple levels can confuse first time visitors. After touchdown, many travelers struggle to find their way around here. Our YYZ international arrival team knows exactly where to meet you.
First Steps After Landing
Once the aircraft arrives at the gate, the seatbelt sign off means you can stand up. Listen carefully to flight crew instructions before aircraft deplaning begins.
- Deplaning: Walk through the jetway and follow signs toward the Customs Hall.
- Tracking: We always track plane landing procedures so our drivers arrive on time. Upon landing, your disembarkation becomes smooth with our Toronto Pearson pickup service. The Toronto Pearson arrival process feels easy when someone waits for you.
The Immigration Process at YYZ
Documents You Need Ready The immigration process at Toronto Pearson confuses many first time visitors. You must prepare your documents before reaching CBSA officers upstairs. Keep your passport, declaration form and travel papers in your hand.
- Tip: Using the automated immigration kiosks speeds up the entry process for eligible travelers.
- Our Role: Our drivers track your progress and wait patiently while you clear immigration.
Speaking With Border Officers CBSA staff conduct primary inspection for every border crossing at YYZ. Answer questions honestly during your brief immigration interview with officers. Immigration officers check entry requirements and may ask about your stay. The customs and immigration area handles passport stamping after CBSA approval. Many nervous travelers worry about their border services experience here. We understand because we help guests through this immigration process weekly. Our team tracks your flight so pickup timing stays perfect always.
Customs Clearance to Limo Step by Step
Understanding the Two Customs Channels Many travelers feel lost during customs clearance to limo journey at Toronto Pearson. The airport offers two channels:
Nothing to Declare: if you stay within duty free allowance limits.
Goods to Declare: CBSA staff may still conduct random inspections on any traveler here. Customs officers guide you through the declaration process quickly and smoothly. We have helped guests navigate customs to ground transport for over ten years.
Baggage Claim Procedures Your baggage claim procedures begin right after passing customs inspection upstairs. Find your flight number on screens and head to the correct belt.
- Recommendation: Grab a luggage cart near the baggage to limo process exit doors today. CBSA checks your customs declaration form before you leave this area. The customs clearance to the limo path becomes simple with proper preparation always.
Final Exit Hand your declaration receipt to the officer at the exit. Once you pass through the frosted glass doors, you have officially entered the Arrivals Hall.

Finding your arrivals hall pickup spot can feel tricky after a long flight. The ground transportation area sits on the arrivals level at both terminals. Our YYZ international arrival transfer drivers wait at the meet and greet location daily. We text you exact pickup coordinates and driver location before you land.
