Flight (CR1)

[JY&MD 0]

Hello.

 

Guys I have a question regarding flights.

 

I'm planning to travel to States through Canada, my question is do I need a transit visa? if yes where do I get it (online)? and does it take long to get?

 

Thank you.

Depends on the country you're from but you have a link to figure it out.  In general, this is something you sort out BEFORE making a travel decision. 😉

If you do have to have a transit visa through Canada, don't wait until the last minute......"They" say it take only a few minutes to process......however, my wife's recent transit visa took about 4 hours.......but it was a painless process.........and cost only about $6.00 (Canadian).

that's what scares me, I'm planning to buy the ticket this coming Monday and I don't really know how long it takes to get a transit visa, I have read that it takes between 20 to 30 days to get one.

Then you might find it a better choice to make travel arrangements that do not require transit visas, such as direct from Casa to a POE in the US.  Some European Airports are set up to isolate international travelers to avoid this issue.

I wish i could do that but the thing is the state where im going there are no direct flights, however there is a flight from Casa to Madrid then Madrid to JFK then JFK to state where im going. 

I guess I could do that go through Madrid without a problem

Well, check it out and do what you need to do.  We DO endure inconvenience and expense as a part of the immigration process.
