Yes same at LHR. Only citizens of certain countries like USA, AUS,NZ, Singapore and Canada can use it. DXB has retina scans also but sometimes they will randomly send you to a customs agent.

E-Gates at YYZ finally. I have used these at DXB and LHR. You can get through custom within a few mins. https://www.cp24.com/news/this-is-what-travellers-need-to-know-about-new-electronic-gates-at-toronto-pearson-1.5958728

I travelled internationally earlier in Jan/Feb, My family flew to western Canada couple of times since March. We didn't experience the chaos that has been projected in the media. There was a delay of 1 hour max. I was selected for random covid test on my return. I experienced worse delays at...

This is a beautiful campus. Deer sighting is very common in this area.

This could be the reason they are charging $1300. One of my friends is a realtor and he told me the uptown condo market is also hot. It's just the downtown core where the market is down, at least for now.

Last spring a 507sqft condo was selling for a cool 556k..so it looks like someone made close to a 100k if they are charging $1300 sqft now. The question is will the value hold? There is a mass exodus from the downtown core due to Covid. This area may survive the meltdown.

I drove on the eastbound 401 from EMP to YYZ. Looks like the job is not complete yet. only two express lanes are open. The carpool lane is not open. Some work still pending. There is a lane that is still not open and I am suspecting that will allow merging into collector in order to access Mavis.

Because lots of people are defaulting on the downpayment. Plus they increased the price in march so buyers will end up paying more. I was in the area a few days ago and looks like the construction has restarted.

The closing has been delayed until Oct. 2022. I have heard some buyers have defaulted on deposits due to the current economic crisis. Not sure if this project is still on or getting cancelled.

Another Gupta and Plaza condo like scenario...

I took this pic today. The lights are a nice addition. The PDI has started. I spoke to a foreman and he told me that the towers are complete and initial occupancy will take place in mid Jan.
