Coming from RAK to EWR, with a K1 visa, does anyone know if a transit visa is needed, i.e. from Marrakech to Newark, with layover in CDG, LIS or YYZ

Citizens of Morocco do not require transit visas in France or Portugal. They are typically not eligible for Canadian eTA and would require a transit visa to pass through, but may be eligible for a simple eTA by possessing a valid US non-immigrant visa. And yes - K-1 is considered a non-immigrant visa.
