Can we leave the airport with a Canadian transit visa?
I'm traveling from the UK to the Bahamas with my wife and 2 kids our flight has 17 hrs connection. We have a transit visa.
Can we get out of the airport to some hotel or do we have to stay inside the departure area with our two kids?
Best Answer
With a Canadian transit visa there are no restrictions keeping you in the Airport. You are allowed to do things such as
- Leave the airport to visit hotels or tourist attractions
- Leave the airport sterile areas to check in with other airlines
- Take domestic flights (i.e. Your itinerary is foreign country A -> Canadian city 1 -> Canadian city 2 -> foreign country B)
- Leave your arriving airport to travel to a different Canadian airport to board a different outbound flight
