I am planning to travel to Canada (Ottawa) from Mumbai. I have Canada immigrant visa (Permanent Residence). I haven't yet received the PR card, and my port of entry is Ottawa.
I have two options, 1. Travel to Ottawa via Toronto 2. Travel to Ottawa via London
I want to know whether I would require a transit visa for for 1st option? Because, I already have a Canadian immigrant visa!
Also, will I require a transit UK visa, if I select option 2? I checked the below website of UK govt.
