I an a Filipino. I will be travelling from Lima, Peru to Malaysia. I have a 2-hour layover in Toronto YYZ, then to Shanghai. Do I need a transit visa? Thanks in advance.
Best Answer
Yes.
Philippine passport holders can transit without visa through certain Canadian airports, but only when transiting to or from the US, with a US visa.
Since you are not going to or from the US, that doesn't apply to you, and you need a Canadian visa as Philippine passport holders normally need to enter Canada.
