If stay in Frankfurt/Paris/Amsterdam is less than 13 hours then no need of transit visa, simple consult with ur travel agent.

Good Luck

Hi,
Any passenger traveling with a direct flight ticket, changing their aircraft in between the journey to Canada or USA either with PR visa or on any kind of entry visa (Visitor, temporary worker, student etc ) need not require a transit visa at any airports in Europe ( Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, London, Brussels. etc). Those passengers are not leaving the transit lounge anyway. I traveled with my family on visitor visa twice to Toronto :(1) DXB-FRA -YYZ, (2) RUH - LHR -YYZ and twice with PR visa via Brussels. No one asked any transit visa.

Not all nationals transit visa-free in Heathrow. UKBA published a list of nationals who can transit without visa. Mine is not on the list.
