PS. Its not my fault that the word on the streets is that UK Immigration can be racist.
Leaving that aside, does anyone know if i will need a visa or not.
I called the UK embassy, both in Canada and London (spent over 100 dollars by the way...arrgghhh!) and they say i DO NOT REQUIRE A VISA because i hold a permanent resident card. But i stil want to hear from folks with experience.
Thanks a lot.
MUAH!
You won't need a transit visa as long as you show them your Canadian PR card. Maximum transit stay is 48 hours.
Next time before you panic and start making overseas calls, try google first. A search of "British visa" on google yielded this site as the first result:
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk
The first link on that site reads "Do I need a UK visa?"
Now if you couldn't figure this out on the internet, how did you manage to find Flyertalk?
