30 minutes is probably enough if there's no traffic, and in normal weather conditions.
During rush hour, the 403 in Oakville can become pretty slow. And then factor in days where there might be rain/snow or accidents. Also depends on which part of Mississauga you're coming from.
I'm sure you'll figure out the traffic patterns pretty quickly once school starts.
It depends from where in Mississauga you're coming, the route you take and the time you're traveling.
If you're coming from West Sauga (on the Oakville border) then maybe 30mins would be okay, as long as you get on the QEW at Trafalgar (eastbound QEW from Ford to Trafalgar tends to be insanely slow) and there's no unexpected traffic.
But without knowing how far you are from a highway, where in Sauga you are and what time you're going, nobody can really give you an estimate.
Depending where in Mississauga. I work in Miss. and live in Burlington and it takes about 30 minutes. Also good thing is in the morning most of the traffic is going in the other direction so highway isnt that bad. (I also worked in Hamilton first two months of summer and never had trouble taking highway).
