===Connecting flights===
Just like the United States, Canada does not allow for sterile transit, so passengers connecting from one international flight to another need to pass through customs and immigration before re-checking their bags to their final destination. Ensure that you meet all the entry requirements for Canada, including having a visa if necessary, before you book your flights. The sole exception is when arriving on a non-U.S. international flight and transferring to a U.S.-bound flight in the same terminal. In that case, you don't have to clear Canadian customs and immigration, and you can proceed straight to the U.S. border preclearance facility. However, you will still need to have a visa for Canada if required for your nationality.
 
If your flights require you to change terminal, you must retrieve your luggage, exit the secure area, re-check your bags at the other terminal and re-clear security.

===By bicycle or on foot===
Pearson can be reached on foot by walking to Viscount Station (near the ALT Hotel and Value Park Lot), then taking the free Terminal Link train to your departure terminal. The station and trains are large enough to accommodate bicycles as well. Most if not all the roads to the terminal buildings prohibit bicycles and pedestrians, making Viscount the best option for those using non-motorized transport.
