You are dumped outside after clearing the first customs so you could go to the city then , but you will have all of your luggage. And as you go to the next gate for your flight there will be a desk where they are asking you to pay $15 for airport improvement or something, but only need to pay if you are starting or ending in Montreal. It is a real pain in the ass, and you cant even get a drink on the flight back to Washington after the pain in the ass airport because you need Canadian dollars.
