Canadian travels AUA to Canada

When leaving Aruba does Canada have thier customs at the airport or do you clear back at your home airport?

When traveling to Canada, you will have to clear Canadian customs in Toronto

Good luck if you have to catch a connection as they are much slower than the US customs in Aruba. We have missed plenty of connections waiting for our luggage and then having to get through customs in TO.

We generally travel via a US airline as we don't live in TO- you have to give yourself more time to clear US customs in Aruba but it makes it so easy for connections once you get to your US city to catch the flight home.

Thanks Randi
So how much time should I give before heading to the airport in Aruba seeing that I don't need to go through US customs?

Its been awhile since I traveled Air Canada and a lot depends on time of year you are traveling. I think I would give myself 2 hours at the airport. From what I remember the agents in Aruba for AC weren't overly quick.
