I've flown into Canada at YYZ quite a bit in the past, and normally go through Canadian customs there after exiting the plane. Easy-peasy. All the times I've flown into Canada from the US have been directly to my final destination, which is also a port of entry.

But this time, I'm planning a trip that will take me through YTZ (Billy Bishop) instead, with a connecting flight to Halifax (YHZ). Will I be able to clear customs at YTZ or will I do that at YHZ?

The flights I'm looking at have a relatively short layover time, so I'm a little concerned about being able to make the connection if I have to go through customs first.

Canada Border Services Agency operates an Airport of Entry at Billy Bishop, which means you will clear immigration and customs there.

According to one Flyertalk thread, it takes as long to clear immigration at YTZ than it does just to walk from your plane to the customs hall at YYZ. Your mileage may vary, of course...
