Use the official transit guidance
IRCC’s transit guidance distinguishes document requirements and exceptions according to the traveller and route. Check your actual passport and itinerary, including whether you pass border control, instead of assuming a connecting flight needs no documents.
Map every flight and border step
Write down the airports, connection times, baggage arrangements and onward destination. Confirm the itinerary details with the carrier, then use them to read the applicable official instructions. Keep the transit result separate from your destination visa checklist.
Keep a dated preparation record
Save the official source and review date in your private notes. Separate confirmed requirements from questions still awaiting an answer. Recheck the current instructions before submitting or travelling.
Check your situation with the official authority
Use your actual nationality, travel document and itinerary. Check the current category, documents, fees and transit rules before applying or travelling.
