Immigration Flight through two stops in same country before landing in USA - Possible?

[Greenbaum 12,259]

I'm looking at flights from PH and one of the cheapest is MNL to Vancouver Canada then to Toronto Canada then to final destination which is Raleigh, NC. Can she do this without any problems with immigration of either country?

Thanks

Shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure Canada allows Pinays to transit without a visa. Most countries do. If she never leaves the airport, no problemo. Some countries (like Korea) require onward ticketing to allow travel to their country without a visa.

I'm sure Canada is much more liberal and she won't have a problem.

Nationals from the following countries qualify for the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) program:

•Indonesia
•Thailand
•Taiwan ◦Taiwan passport holders who do not qualify for the visa exemption to visit Canada may still benefit from the TWOV program
•Philippines

All nationals who qualify for the TWOV program must also meet these conditions:

•They hold a valid passport issued by an approved country (listed above);
•They hold a valid United States (U.S.) visa;
•They travel to Canada on an approved airline (either Air Canada, Air China, Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, Philippines Airlines, Jazz Air, Sky Regional Airlines Inc., and Air Georgian); and
•They transit through an approved Canadian airport (either Vancouver International Airport or Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, Terminal 1 only)

Notice: Individual travelers cannot apply to the TWOV program; only airports and airlines can submit an application. Learn more about the application process.

Passengers travelling to the United States

In addition to the conditions above, while travelling to the United States, nationals from approved countries must hold a confirmed onward ticket for a direct flight to the United States leaving Canada the same travel day (no layover or overnight stay is permitted).

Passengers may be asked to fill out a TWOV card for statistical purposes.

Notice: Travelers who are changing flights in Canada must arrive during the hours of operation of the U.S. in-transit pre-clearance facility to be able to travel without a Canadian transit visa under the TWOV program. Therefore, travelers should check their flight connections with the airline.

Missing a flight connection or arriving after hours

Travelers who miss their connecting flight or arrive after hours when the U.S. in-transit pre-clearance facility is closed are no longer eligible to travel without a transit visa under the TWOV program and must proceed to a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer for examination. Based on the examination, the CBSA officer may decide to issue them a fee-exempt temporary resident permit.

Should be no issue at all, as long as she does not leave the terminal area. (ah... shucks! I am too late... )

Have a save flight!
