Hello,
Do I need a transit visa if I travel via Heathrow, London. The layover time is 8hr 30 mins. I'm an Indian citizen and would be travelling to Montreal from New Delhi.

Thank you.

You are exempt, even if you need to clear immigration, you will get a 24hr visa free of cost. Max. transit time is 24 hours.

Indian nationals are exempt under following situations:

- a visa which allows entry into (or transit through) either Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA; and
- holding a valid ticket for travel from a third country or territory via the UK as part of a journey TO (or through) Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA, whichever the visa is applicable to (e.g.: DEL-LHR-JFK, DEL-CDG-LHR-JFK, DEL-LHR-CDG-JFK or DEL-LHR-JFK-MEX).
OR:
- a valid visa for entry into Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA; and
- a valid airline ticket for travel via the UK as part of a journey FROM the country in respect of which the visa is held to another country or territory.
OR:
travelling as part of a journey FROM either Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA, provided transiting the UK less than 6 months after the date they last entered Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA with a valid visa for the respective country, even though the visa may have expired at time of transit through the UK (e.g.: JFK-LHR-DEL, JFK-CDG-LHR-DEL or JFK-LHR-CDG-DEL).
NOTE: this DATV exemption is not applicable if holding a US Visa Foil type "YY" or "ZZ" endorsed "Not a visa. Foil prepared at DHS request" nor the US Adit stamp worded "Processed for I-551" (temporary form I-551).

I was booking flight via makemytrip.com and the operator said that I'll require a transit visa as my changeover time in london is 8 hrs 30 mins and also if the terminals are different.

Don't worry mate. You don't need an transit visa. Makemytrip recommends everyone to get an transit visa. If you have a valid visa for onward travel to canada then you're exempt for transit visa.
