Canada Transit Visa Online application - Where is it processed and how long will it take?
I am a citizen from Philippines and currently residing in Bahamas. I am applying for a transit visa in Canada (22 days left) through online application. My questions are: 1) the online application does not indicate where my application is processed. Where is this processed? 2) do I need to send over my passport stamped/stick the visa? 3) how long does this take?
Appreciate your help!!!
Thanks!
Best Answer
Visa applications from the Bahamas are processed through the visa office in Kingston, Jamaica.
As part of the process of applying for the visa, you will be requested to send your passport and any supporting documentation to the Visa Application Centre in Kingston, Jamaica. You can mail the documents or deliver them in person, but if you need to give biometrics (Philippine citizens do not) then you cannot mail your documents; you must deliver them in person.
After you have submitted your documents, you can check the status of your application in the Application Tracker. Note that the Kingston office currently shows a processing time of 34 days.

Is it easy to get a transit visa for Canada?
There is no fee for a transit visa and you can apply for a transit visa by filling out the application for a visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) and selecting transit visa from the list of options on the form. U.S. citizens do not need a visa to visit Canada and therefore, do not need to worry about a transit visa.How long does visa take to be processed?
It takes from 3 to 5 weeks for a US visa application to get processed. After the processing, the applicant can get a positive reply on their application, and the consulate will deliver the document. The delivery of the visa can take up to two other workdays.Is biometrics required for Canada transit visa?
Normally, you need to give biometrics if you haven't given biometrics in the last 10 years. If your local visa application centre is not open due to COVID-19, there are temporary measures in place for biometrics. You may need to complete extra steps when you fill out your application.How To Apply Canada Transit Visa Step By Step Using IRCC Portal
