A Transit Visa allows foreign nationals to pass through Canada while traveling to another country. This visa is required for travelers from certain countries who are transiting through a Canadian airport, even if they do not plan to stay in Canada.
The Transit Visa ensures a smooth and lawful passage through Canada during short stopovers.
You may need a Transit Visa if:
You are from a transit visa–required country
You are transiting through a Canadian airport
Your stop in Canada is less than 48 hours
Canada is not your final destination
Requirements depend on nationality and travel route.
Applicants typically need:
A valid passport
Confirmed onward travel tickets
Authorization to enter the destination country
Supporting travel documents
Some travelers may qualify for Canada’s Transit Without Visa (TWOV) or special transit programs, depending on nationality, airline, and destination. Eligibility must be carefully reviewed.
A Transit Visa allows you to:
Pass through a Canadian airport
Continue your journey to another country
Stay in Canada for a short transit period only
It does not allow tourism, work, or study in Canada.
Ensure your journey continues smoothly by applying for the correct transit authorization.
