Visiting Canada

Do I need a visa if I am travelling through Canada without stopping or visiting?

Canada requires the citizens of certain countries and territories to have visas when they enter Canada. If you need a visa to visit Canada, then you will need a transit visa to travel through Canada without stopping or visiting. You will need a transit visa even if you stop in Canada for less than 48 hours. To find out if your country is on this list, see list of countries.

There is no fee for a transit visa.
