Transit rules apply when travelling with a Nigeria passport through Canada, even if you are not entering the country.
Transit restrictions may apply and additional authorisation may be required before departure.
Transit rules often differ from standard visa requirements and are enforced before boarding.
Transit rules depend on your connection type, routing, and airport procedures. Understanding these factors can help avoid unexpected issues before boarding.
Transit requirements are one of the most common reasons travellers are denied boarding, especially when connection details are misunderstood.
