Visa Details
Ordinary Indian passport holders normally need a Canadian visa. A valid Canadian visitor visa can cover transit; otherwise an international-air connection of 48 hours or less generally needs a transit visa. Longer stops or visits normally need a visitor visa. US lawful permanent residents are exempt from visa and eTA requirements with the required passport and status evidence; a US visitor visa alone does not qualify.

Transit visa exemptions:
A valid Canadian visitor visa can cover transit without a separate transit visa. US lawful permanent residents are exempt from the visa and eTA requirements; for air travel, carry a valid passport or accepted equivalent travel document plus valid US permanent-resident status evidence. Canadian permanent residents need their PR card or permanent resident travel document for commercial travel.
Ordinary Indian passport holders generally need a Canadian transit visa for an international-air connection of 48 hours or less if they do not already hold a valid Canadian visitor visa and no exemption applies. A visit to Canada, a longer stop, or entry by land or sea normally requires a visitor visa instead. A US visitor visa alone does not exempt an Indian passport holder.
