What Compensation Can You Get at Toronto Pearson Airport?
If your flight was delayed or cancelled, or if the airline denied boarding, you might be eligible for compensation. In Canada, the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) cover your rights, not EU law.
Here’s when you can claim compensation under APPR:
- Your flight was delayed for 3+ hours.
- Your flight got cancelled.
- The airline denied you boarding.
This applies when you’re flying out of YYZ, arriving at YYZ, or connecting through. Even if you’re just passing through Toronto, APPR might still protect you.

APPR vs EU261 - Which Rights Apply at Toronto Pearson?
Only APPR applies at Canadian airports, including Toronto Pearson (YYZ). Here’s a brief overview of which law applies when.
| Situation | Regulation |
|---|---|
| Departing from YYZ | APPR |
| Arriving at YYZ on an EU airline | EU261 |
| Departing from the EU to Toronto | EU261 |
| Domestic flights within Canada | APPR |
So, if you’re flying inside Canada or from YYZ, EU rules won’t be of much help. You’ll need to claim under APPR. If you experienced a Toronto Pearson Airport delay, you can skip EU261 altogether and only check on the APPR.
Toronto Pearson Airport Compensation Eligibility
When You Are Eligible
You are eligible for compensation if the flight delay was the airline’s fault, such as:
- Staff strikes with no prior notice.
- The flight delay was 3+ hours.
- You were denied boarding due to overbooking.
- Your flight got cancelled with no prior notice.
If you check one of those boxes, you should try to get your compensation.
When You Are Not Eligible
Not all flights qualify for compensation. You won’t get your money back if the reason was:
- Severe weather.
- Security threats.
- Air traffic control delays.
- Safety-related mechanical problems.
However, even if you can’t get your money back, the airline still has to take care of you by providing meals, refreshments, and flight rebooking.
If you decide that you are qualified for compensation under APPR, here are the steps you need to take.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much compensation can I get from Toronto Pearson Airport?
You can get up to CAD 1,000 for flight delays at the airport and up to CAD 2,400 if you were denied boarding and the final arrival time was late. However, if your flight delay in Toronto was due to extraordinary circumstances such as extreme weather or political unrest, among some others, the airline is not obliged to pay you any compensation.
Instead, the airline’s representatives should provide you with meals, refreshments, and rebook another flight from Toronto, Canada.
-
Does Canadian APPR apply to international travellers?
Yes, if you fly with a Canadian airline or from a Canada airport, APPR may cover you regardless of your nationality. Just make sure that your flight from Toronto is affected by the airline’s fault and not by extraordinary circumstances before you file a claim.
The airline is not obliged to pay out compensation if the flight disruption is due to the airport’s fault, severe weather, airport strikes, or other uncontrollable circumstances.
-
What if my flight was delayed more than 3 hours?
If your flight was delayed by more than 3 hours, you may be owed up to CAD 1,000 from the airline. However, if you stayed in Toronto airport because of severe weather, that’s not the airline’s fault, therefore, you won’t be eligible for compensation in Canada, even if your final arrival time is more than 3 hours late.
-
Can I get compensation from Air Canada?
Yes, as a large airline in Canada, Air Canada must follow APPR rules, and you can get compensation if you are eligible. Before asking for compensation, make sure the flight delay was the airline’s fault, and not due to extraordinary circumstances in Toronto or anywhere else in Canada.
-
How long do I have to claim compensation?
You have 1 year to file a claim before your situation is rendered cold. Contact the airline for your flight disruption and provide them with all relevant information about what happened at the airport in Canada.
