Toronto Airport do we have to re-check in our luggage for a stop in Toronto?

We're going to travel to San Francisco with a stop in Toronto (YYZ) with Air Canada.

Im just wondering do we have to check our luggage out and in again when we stop in YYZ?

Yes, you will. After landing in Toronto, you will have to clear customs, claim your baggage, and re-check it.



Have a great trip!
It depends on where you are coming from. If your travel starts in any other Canadian city, then you do not have to claim your bags or go through Customs/Immigration in Toronto; if you are coming from any other country, including the US, you will need to claim all your bags, clear customs/immigration, then check your bags again. Be forewarned that immigration in Toronto's Pearson International Airport can take a very long time. The lines are usually crazy. Be on the lookout for the "in transit" lanes which are specifically for people who are just passing through Canada and not staying, as these lines are usually shorter.Toronto Airport do we have to re-check in our luggage for a stop in Toronto?
Do you hold a USA passport? Do you hold a Canadian Passport?



Here is how it will work:



DUB - YYZ (check bags in at DUB; in flight you will pick up a declarations card for Canada a visa waiver card; after customs check you will pick up your bags and proceed to check in for flight to SFO)



YYZ - SFO (in flight you will be given a USA declarations card and visa waiver; go through customs in SFO; pick up bags)

No, you don't have to. They do all that for you. Your bags don't get to baggage claim until you do. When you arrive, they unload the baggage.
