Arriving in Canada & Clearing Customs
If you arrive to EIA directly from your international destination, you will clear Canada Customs in Edmonton.
If you arrive to Canada via another airport such as Toronto or Vancouver, you will clear Canada Customs at your first port of entry.
Once you fly onward to Edmonton, you will arrive as a domestic passenger.
