Clearing Canadian Customs in Vancouver

[dorothyinAus]

I'm flying through Vancouver on my way to Quebec.  I have a 4 1/2 hour layover before my connecting flight.  I'm working on the assumption that's enough time to clear customs/immigration and make it to my gate -- or so Air New Zealand/Air Canada think.

Are there any tips/tricks?  Anything special I need to know?  I really can't find much more than an airport map online and I'm a bit nervous about it.

Thanks!

YVR is a pretty small airport so 4.5 hours is waayyyy more than enough time to make your connecting flight.

Plenty of time. I find you need a minimum of 1.5 hours in case it takes a long time to get your bags (You'll have to pick up your checked bags when you land and then re check them)
