Hi Satdxb! Thanks for the correction.. 8)
I'm sorry, the visa for pakistani and srilankan transit passengers only applies to transit through the Schengen zone (Amsterdam and Frankfurt) ....not London Heathrow. ;D

Also, Ravi, please note that this applies only if you are not in possession of your PR card or valid Canadian visa. (your PR visa is a single entry visa that will be cancelled upon arrival in Canada)
I know some Srilankan friends who were denied boarding at Toronto Pearson by KLM as they were leaving Canada before receiving PR card (they were transiting Amsterdam on the way back to the middle east)
Satdxb, I've heard KLM is good!! They wont allow me to select seats for the return journey online though....hope I dont get the lavatory ones! :

SATDXB said:If you are a Pakistani/Srilankan national, you will need an airport transit visa to transit Europe even if you will remain airside while transiting in the airport.
Hi Ashrile, i am from Pakistan, but i did not required a transit visa , when i was going to Toronto from Dubai via Heathrow ( had a stopover of 6 hours).
And yes, you have really made a good choice of using KLM ..!! All the best ...!!
Cheers..
