Hi
I have got my PR card for Canada and I am leaving in a weeks time to Canada. I want to confirm 2 things
a. If I have a valid PR card then do I need any visa or any stamping on my passport for travelling?
b. If I am travelling via London holding my PR card then would I need a transit visa even if I dont step out of the airport?
Please help with the information that you have as I am not getting a correct response and I dont want to get entangled in the legal formalities bcoz of the ignorance of the formalities.
Regards
SSPPM

A) No. PR card plus valid passport is enough.
B) According to the text below, you don't need a transit visa.
