I am looking to transit via London Heathrow Airport to go to India. From what I know, Canadian PRs can transit via the UK. Unfortunately, I haven't received my PR card yet. Can I transit using my Landing Documents like CoPR?

Thanks!

Apologies if I posted in the wrong category. I wasn't sure where to post.

If you have a visa for Canada, you don't need a transit visa. So the PR Visa & COPR would do just fine!

Hi, I am also in same situation. CoPR documentation is enough to transit via London airport ? Please let me know.

Thank you.

Heading to India or from India?

If you're coming from India to Canada, then yes, all you need is a valid Canadian visa. You don't need the CoPR to transit, though of course you have to carry it and show it if they ask you.

No, if you're going back to India you don't need a transit visa.

Thank you very much for the info and for the timely reply.
Actually, I think I'm incorrect. I checked again and you may well need a Direct Airside Transit Visa since your Canadian visa will no longer be valid.

Sorry about that .
