Canada Transit Visa

Canada Transit Visa

A visa is not required to transit through Canada providing that they do not intend to leave the international transit area.

Certain foreign nationals may be eligible to transit through Canada without a visa if they are travelling to and from the United States (U.S.), and meet certain requirements.

If you need a visa to visit Canada, then you need a transit visa to travel through Canada without stopping or visiting. This is true even if you are in Canada for less than 48 hours. There is no fee for a transit visa. You can apply for a transit visa by filling out the application for a visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) and selecting transit visa from the list of options on the form.

You may not need a transit visa if you are travelling to or from the United States. The Transit Without Visa program (TWOV) and the China Transit Program (CTP) allow certain foreign nationals to transit through Canada on their way to and from the United States without a Canadian transit visa, if they meet certain requirements.
