The chaos at Pearson international airport can be mitigateed

 I am slowly learning by experience how to navigate Pearson international airport.  Here’s some tips 

Going to the USA

Signup for the MCP US boarder control app.  It asks you for passport info and flight info.  Pre fill it out and then submit at the airport. It will take your photo.  Note you can not submit until you are at the airport as it tracks your location.  Instead of a 20 to 30 minutes line I was thru in five minutes as it gives you a bar code you show to security and you go in a special line.

Going Canada or international you can pre schedule a security line up time up to 72 hours before .  It’s called Pearson express.  Unfortunately you can not do this for the USA

book your flight for around 8 am as you get to the airport at 5am before the crowds.

Or book for the evening,

Hope this helps
