I'm an Indian student traveling to Canada via London and need help to do my homework online on the visa question. I also need some guidance on the transit visa types.

Depending on the transit visa too. It comes in 2 forms: Visitor in Transit Visa (you can change airports and it's valid for 48 hours) and Direct Airside Transit Visa (only 24 hours and you need to stay "airside"). If you visa was issued under the BIVS scheme, you don't need a transit visa.

But the best way to be sure is to check whether you really need a UK visa here >> https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa

You are replying to a post from January. Things have changed since then.

As a Canadian passport holder (2X vaccinated in Canada), I wanted to know if I would require a COVID test prior to boarding a flight from India to the UK? I intend to spend a few days in UK and then return to Canada.

Also, is a test required to fly from UK to the Canada?
