Do I need a Canadian transit visa when I have a visitor visa?

Upvote:12

No, nope, never. You do not need a transit visa. Visit visas are superior to transit visas. If you have a valid visit visa you can certainly transit through.

If you are eligible to apply to enter a country on its border (which you are) you are certainly eligible to apply for a transit through it.

As noted in the comment below, if you have only a single entry visa then its for you to decide whether you want to use that entry or apply for a transit visa because if you use a single entry visa for a transit it will still be called USED. However for Canada and many other countries visit visas are multiple entry usually.

Let's say any future reader has a Green Card and no Canadian Visa they can obtain an eTA online quickly to transit through Canada.
