Do I need to pick up my connecting baggage at Vancouver airport?

The answer upstairs is wrong. You have to go through the customs to get your luggage. First, you have to go through the customs, and then you can get your luggage. Then go to the window to transfer and check your luggage again. You have to check your luggage again when you transfer in Canada, but you don't need it if you transfer to the United States. These stewardesses will remind you on the plane.

If you want to apply for a student visa, you can see it on your right after you go through customs. It's written in Chinese, and it's not too late to pick up your luggage after getting a visa.
