I see route from India to Canada through Abu dhabi( eithad) where we can get NCR test and results same day for transit passengers. In eithad website, they said for Indian/ transit passengers can get rapid test and results within 6 hrs.

How about from dubai(dxb), Emirates ?? Do dubai airport provide rapid test and results same day as Abu Dhabi? Please let me know.
I really appreciate, if someone can tell me and to all people.

Hello All,
I believe the route from Mexico is the safest one.

I have seen recent videos and read stories about people who have been using this route.

There are two ways -
1. India to Mexico via Amsterdam then Mexico to Canada.
2. India to Mexico via Frankfurt then Mexico to Canada.

It costs around 1.30 to 1.5 lakhs maximum that includes the entire flight tickets and 3 nights hotel stay in Mexico.
RT PCR can be done before boarding flight from India and then other one can be done at Mexico Airport or at the hotel stay in Mexico.

Hope this clears the doubt of so many people here.

Lastly, I have applied for visa and if it is approved then definitely I will plan my indirect travel via this route in October for my Nov intake.
Anybody interested can join me for further discussions and we can go together as well.

Another option that is good is, India to Maldives
Maldives to Toronto, its cheap. The only con is you have to pay extra for the baggage.

I am planning via this route but I haven't checked refund/cancellation policies for Etihad yet. Has anyone checked it? I already have a direct flight booking with AirIndia for October but looking at the circumstances I presume will have to either cancel/reschedule it hence just don't want to block the fund. Air India takes 21 days to refund.

Etihad / Qatar Airways takes 45 BUSINESS DAYS to refund to debit card/NEFT.
Refunds to credit cards are faster.

This could be cheaper. Try google flights for fare comparison

INDIA - ZURICH | layover for RTPCR | ZURICH - TORONTO

Try British airways, Lufthansa or Emirates.
