Is there a transit visa? Is it required for Canada?

In Canada, the ETA can be used as a transit visa for most travelers. However, there are important considerations:

1. ETA as a transit visa: For the vast majority of travelers who meet the requirements for an eTA, this authorization can be used for transiting through Canada to another destination. This applies as long as the transit does not exceed 48 hours.
2. Requirements and exceptions: If you do not meet the requirements for an eTA or if you are a citizen of a country that requires a visitor visa for Canada, you may need to apply for a transit visa (if the stopover is 48 hours) or a visitor visa (if the stopover is longer than 48 hours).
3. Duration of the stopover: It is important to verify the length of the stopover in Canada and the specific requirements based on your nationality and travel situation. It is always recommended to check with the Canadian embassy or the official immigration website to ensure compliance with all requirements before traveling.
