Transit via USA while travelling between India and Canada as a Canadian citizen

[ras_dent]

Hello All,

I’m planning to make a round trip with my family (wife and toddler of 5 years, all are Canadian citizens ) from Canada to India while having a transit flight via USA. Just wanted to know what will be the process during transit in this scenario. Please share your experiences here.

Thank you.

If you are all Canadian citizens then no visa necessary.

What are the procedures at the USA airports during transiting?

You generally need to pass through customs and immigration. Make sure you leave enough time between flights.

How much time on average does it take for that? Also, what are the standard procedures during customs and immigration?

How much time it takes can vary based on the airport and how busy they are at that specific time. I would try googling the name of the airport and transit times.

Note that US customs/immigration may be done in the departing airport from Canada - depends on the airport.
