Hello guys,my Canada student visa expired in 2018 November and was supposed to finish my studies in 2019.I couldnt apply for an extension because my sponsor (father) had passed away.Continued from 2018 Nov till l finished my program 2019 then exited Canada 2020 9 March a day before Airports were closed (Covid).My Canadian friends recently invited me to Saint Pierre and Miquelon (French Territory in Newfoundland and La) l have a valid FRENCH EU VISA to that territory and it seems all flights to that French Territory pass through Canadian Airports and l need a transit visa to pass through Canadian Airports.Been trying to book direct flights from France Paris to the French Territory but all are fully booked till summer 2024...My question..Will they issue a transit visa after my.previous 1 year overstay..its been 3 and half years since l left Canada and l have a good job in my home country have no plans for now to return back to Canada?

Apply for a Transit visa and find out. Declare the overstay. That is all you can do.
