No you don't need transit visa unless there is terminal change from your connecting flight.

U misunderstood me. I said terminal change not airline change.

eg. From Delhi T3 - London Heathrow T5

and LH T5- Toronto Pearson T1 In this case you don't need transit visa.



or


From Delhi T3 - London Heathrow T5

and LH T3- Toronto Pearson T1 In this case you may need visa.




Check your ticket. Terminal will surely be mentioned there.

British Airways uses only Terminal 5 for all their flights in and out of Heathrow ... similarly EMIRATES uses only terminal 3 in and out of Dubai.

As long as your Canada's connecting flight is from the same terminal you land in UK ... and that your stop-over in London is not more than 8 Hours you are good to go! No additional transit visa required.

Hi!
I'm travelling from Abu Dhabi to Toronto, Canada on a visitor visa on June 29th via London(Heathrow) - British Airways.
I have a transit time of 7 hrs at the airport.
Do I need a transit visa? I hold a Philippine passport and living in UAE.
