Course Description
Canada’s Transit Visa is designed for certain visa-required foreign nationals travelling through a Canadian airport on their way to another country. The applicable travel document depends on nationality, travel method, transit duration, itinerary and whether the traveller qualifies for an exemption or alternative document. This training covers Transit Visa eligibility, airport connections, the 48-hour transit framework, visitor visa versus transit visa, eTA considerations, Transit Without Visa provisions and supporting documentation. The course is designed for immigration consultants, travel consultants, visa filing specialists, recruitment agents and professionals handling Canadian transit cases. Through World Visa Academy’s structured training, learners develop practical skills to assess itineraries, identify the appropriate Canadian travel document, review onward-travel evidence and prepare transit cases professionally without guaranteeing visa approval or entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
The course covers Canada Transit Visa eligibility, airport connections, the 48-hour transit framework, eTA requirements, exemptions, Transit Without Visa provisions, China Transit considerations and documentation. World Visa Academy focuses on practical case assessment so immigration professionals can determine the appropriate travel document and prepare transit cases accurately.
A Transit Visa is generally required for travellers from visa-required countries who are connecting between international flights at a Canadian airport, transit for 48 hours or less and do not hold a valid visitor visa or qualify for an eTA. The exact requirement depends on nationality, travel documents and individual transit circumstances.
Applicants generally need a valid passport or travel document, evidence of their international itinerary and documentation supporting their onward journey. Depending on the case, evidence of permission to enter the destination country and other supporting documents may be required. The exact document requirements depend on the applicant’s circumstances and application route.
The applicant first determines whether a Transit Visa, visitor visa, eTA or transit exemption applies. Where a Transit Visa is required, the applicant prepares the appropriate application and supporting evidence for assessment. A Transit Visa is intended for qualifying airport transit and does not provide general permission to visit Canada.
The course is suitable for immigration consultants, travel consultants, visa filing specialists, recruitment agents and professionals handling Canadian transit cases. It is particularly useful for professionals who need to assess complex itineraries, eTA requirements, exemptions, Transit Without Visa provisions and supporting documents while providing structured visa guidance to clients.
