Transit visa, difficult to get?

[RobertoLopez1]

Greetings, I would like to know how difficult is to get a transit visa for Canada, I do not have a job or properties in my country, I have money to travel (I want to go to Japan), could be very difficult to get it?

I am looking forward to read your messages, I really need your opinions about this.

It can be difficult if you don’ have a job. Where are you travelling from and why do you need to go through Canada?

I am traveling from Santo Domingo, and I want go do it through Canada because it is cheaper and the flying time is less.

When are you traveling? How long is layover? Have you ever applied for a Canadian visa of any type. You can submit and see what happens. It may take a few weeks to process.

I am traveling this next month, probably the end of June. I have never applied for a Canadian visa of any type.

Yes, but that is very unlikely. We just want to have a trip together.

Go ahead and apply , but be prepared to be meeting up with them at the destination, if it’s denied

Don’t buy plane tickets till you actually have that transit visa

There's an extremely good chance the visa will not be processed that quickly and as said above, your chances of approval may be quite low without job / property to show ties. You should book the flight that does not transit through Canada.

Would not it be cheaper and faster flight times to transfer through the US or Mexico?

I need visa for these countries also.

Thank you so much for your replies

You should be applying for transit visas for all countries since you are travelling within the month. Don’t count on Canadian transit visa to be approved quickly.

How about China and S. Korea?

Have you done extensive international travelling before? Going to Japan from the DR is not a typical first trip and I would raise huge red flags. Not only is it an expensive country to visit it is on the other side of the world. If you haven’t had significant travel history it will be assumed that you are trying to get into Canada via the transit visa. It is also very unlikely that it is cheaper to fly through Canada. Flying through the US is likely less expensive.
