Program delivery update: Transit programs – Disruptions to travel through Canada
September 13, 2019
The instructions related to the China Transit Program (CTP) and the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) Program have been updated to include the following description of disruptions to travel through Canada:
Passengers in some situations are no longer exempt under the CTP or TWOV Program from the visa requirement. They now need to see a border services officer for examination before they can continue travelling. This applies to passengers who either:
- miss a connecting flight at a Canadian airport
- are being refused entry to the United States (US)
Outdated and irrelevant information regarding procedures for both programs has been removed. The criteria foreign nationals must meet to be eligible for the programs have been clarified.
