Not sure when you last travelled through YYZ but that procedure no longer exists. You no longer carry your bags through customs as of a few years ago when they changed the entire customs area.

Had my interview recently and we had bank and credit card statements, high school transcripts, voting records, and a bunch of other random things. All they cared about was the bank statement and a lease agreement from the US citizens parents saying we can move in with them for free and for however long we want. So looks like a lease for a place works well.

If you're flying on Air Canada the whole way you won't need to pick up your bags. You can either use the bypass to connect to the F gates where US departures are, or just leave the domestic area as per normal and take the elevator or escalator up to departures and enter the F gates security there. I haven't taken the bypass from domestic to USA in a while but I believe you'll skip having to do security again if you choose to do it that way.

Thank you! Good luck to you guys!

Just received my approval letter today, PD May 11. Online status still shows received. 

Excellent, I've been looking into the ACA stuff for insurance. Thanks for the help! And thanks everyone, I think I know enough to get started now.
