Hi,

He, his wife, and I were wheels up around 9:30, cleared customs around
noon. Canada customs actually met us at the airplane, but there are
one of two explanations. Either because his wife is a Spanish citizen
and they wanted to check papers, or one of the agents might have been
a trainee and was getting practical on-the-job experience. No biggie
either way.

My flights into Canada were also met by 2 customs agents. It seems to be
S.O.P.

The Terminal controller slowed his speech down to baby talk when we
expressed some confusion about needing to be "cleared" into Montreal's
class C. I thought it worked like U.S. class B.

I think that would depend on several factors, but in my flights, I had to
pass through Toronto's B anyway. Controllers kept with me until I was near
the airports of destination, then passed clearance off to those airports.
Again, seems to be S.O.P.
