Transiting in Newark from Terminal B to C [duplicate]

We are a Norwegian family traveling on United from Oslo via Heathrow then Newark to Toronto Pearson. We have almost 90 minutes between the flight from Heathrow landing in Terminal B (20:30) and the flight to Toronto leaving from Terminal C (21:57).

Do we have enough time to catch our flight to Toronto?

Should we have checked in luggage or should we only take handbags in order not to waste time?

What do we have to do in Newark and how long does it usually take?

This will be on a Thursday evening.

That may be a very tight fit. You'll need to reclaim your luggage, pass through immigration (if it's packed, it's an easy hour, hour and a half), then bus around or take the air train to C, recheck your luggage and pass through security. If everyone in your party is on the ball and no screaming kids, it might be an easy evolution, but it's possibly to probably going to be a tight fit.

Do I need to recheck my luggage at Newark airport?

The Customs agent will ask you if you have anything to declare. They may wave you on through or make a full inspection of your bags - it's done randomly. Once you clear customs you'll recheck your bags just outside the customs roomm. You then proceed to your departure gate (follow the signs).

Is 1 hour enough for connecting flights in Newark?

No, 1 hour is not remotely close to enough ahead of an international flight. EWR is a busy airport and has a lot of delays. The smallest delay in the first flight will cause you to miss the connection. I'd want two hours or preferably three just in case.
