Is there a way to find out if I need a transit visa for Canada?
I'm passing through Canada, on my way to somewhere else. I'm staying only a short time.
Is there a website, or some other way of find out out if I need a visa?
Best Answer
Whenever I had similar doubts, I always wrote a short email to the embassy of the country in question (Canada in your case) in my country. The embassy officers have been very helpful in most cases and answered promptly. Additionally I printed these emails and took them with me on my trip. While I don't think a piece of paper will be of any help in a difficult situation, it made me sleep well :)
