Best Answer

Who needs a transit visa?

You need a transit visa if you are from a visa-required country and:

  • your international flight stops at a Canadian airport on its way to another country

  • you will be connecting between two international flights at a Canadian airport

It's not ultra short term visitor visa. Don't forget to check if you need a visa an eTA might be enough.
