I’m flying from Vancouver (YVR) to DAC via Hong Kong (HKG) in economy, and I’m trying to figure out how strict things are going to be at check-in in Vancouver.

My luggage situation:

• Checked bag: 23.2 kg
• Carry-on: ~10 kg
• Personal item (laptop bag): ~5 kg (laptop itself is ~3.5 kg)

So I’m slightly “loaded” on the cabin side, mainly because the laptop adds up fast.

My question is: how likely is it that they actually weigh the carry-on (or personal item) at YVR for this kind of long-haul international route?

I’ve heard mixed things:

• Some people say international flights rarely weigh carry-ons unless they look obviously huge
• Others say certain airlines (especially on Asia routes) can be pretty strict at the gate or check-in if it looks heavy
• And sometimes it just depends on the agent having a bad day

I’m mostly wondering what people’s real experience has been at YVR specifically for Asia-bound flights in economy. Do they usually just eyeball it, or should I expect a full weigh-in of cabin bags?

Would rather not repack at the counter if I can avoid it 😅

Hi Everyone,
I have an upcoming preplanned trip outside Canada next month. If i get an ITA and apply before my trip? Do I need to raise a webform and let them know once I'm back? or the travel history is locked once I've applied and there's no need to update anything? It's a short 4 week trip to my home country? I do have valid permit and visa till 2029.

I just got an update in my email saying ''your application has an update''. But upon checking my account/dashboard, it's still the same. Anyone facing same issue?
