Do I need transit visa for connecting flight in Canada?

Whether or not you need a transit visa for a connecting flight in Canada depends on your nationality and specific circumstances.

In general, if you are a citizen of a visa-exempt country and you are transiting through Canada to another destination, you may be eligible for the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) or the Transit Visa Exemption (TVE) program. These programs allow eligible travelers to transit through Canada without obtaining a transit visa, as long as certain conditions are met.

However, if you are a citizen of a country that requires a visa to enter Canada, you will need to obtain a transit visa even if you are only transiting through the country.

A Canada visitor visa is required in the following situations:

If you are visiting Canada, even if your travel is by air and for a duration of less than 48 hours.
If you plan to stay in Canada for more than 48 hours while transiting through the country.
If you are crossing the border into Canada by bus, car, train, boat, or cruise ship.

A transit visa is required in the following situations:

If your international flight has a stop at a Canadian airport before continuing to another country.
If you will be connecting between two international flights at a Canadian airport.
If you are transiting through Canada within 48 hours or less and do not possess a valid visitor visa.
