Hi all , creating this thread to discuss about the possible routes from India to Canada till direct flights resume/COVID restrictions ease.
Why not? It should be the same as for any other visa categoryMexico is one of the routes. But not sure if one can travel on PRTD.
PRTD is a travel document not a PR.Why not? It should be the same as for any other visa category
Via Dubai no. Not sure about Abu Dhabi.can we transit through uae now? I think opened for Indians now
I have sent the passports of my wife and daughter for PRTD stamping and now evaluating the options to go back to Canada? Would PRTD holders along with COPR not be able to transit via Mexico?PRTD is a travel document not a PR.
If one has a valid US visa stamped on a Indian passport, they can get on-arrival visitor visa in DubaiVia Dubai no. Not sure about Abu Dhabi.
Emirates is not accepting PCR test done at Dubai airport. As per Emirates, Canada is not accepting it and Canada wants u to go outside and get it done but Visitor Visa is not allowed for UAE for Indian citizens.
From the following link which talks about Mexican visa for Indian nationals, I read the excerpt below. PRTD holder is a permanent resident of Canada except they do not have a PR card with them. Would they not be treated as somebody holding PR status in Canada. Moreover the excerpt says anybody holding valid Canadian visa would also be allowed to transit. Is PRTD not a visa?Mexico is one of the routes. But not sure if one can travel on PRTD.
I'm in the same dilemma. I sent an email to the embassy waiting for an answer.From the following link which talks about Mexican visa for Indian nationals, I read the excerpt below.

That is true during normal time. During this Covid Pandemic time I'm not so sure. Reach out to Emirates customer support. They might be able to answer it quickly.If one has a valid US visa stamped on a Indian passport, they can get on-arrival visitor visa in Dubai
