Canada Sets Conditions for Visa-Free Transit
The Government of Canada has detailed the conditions for travelers to transit through Canada without a visa under the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) Programme. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), travelers must meet specific requirements before boarding their flight, and airlines are responsible for verifying eligibility.
Eligible passport holders come from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Taiwan. For those traveling to the U.S. via Canada, a valid U.S. visa and a confirmed onward ticket to the U.S. within 24 hours are required.
Travelers must remain in the international transit area and cannot leave the airport. If a flight is delayed beyond 24 hours, the exemption is void, and travelers must report to a Canada Border Services Agency officer.
Additional conditions apply for travelers connecting from the U.S. to international destinations, including valid visa entry into the U.S. and not being subject to removal orders. Eligible airports include Toronto Pearson International Airport Terminal 1, Vancouver International Airport, Calgary International Airport, and Winnipeg International Airport.
