Which airlines fly Delhi to Toronto non-stop?
Air Canada and Air India fly non-stop from Terminal 3 at Delhi to Toronto Pearson. Both face airspace detours — Air India avoids Pakistani airspace, and Canadian airlines avoid Russian airspace — so times vary by airline and season. Both also fly Delhi–Vancouver non-stop, which is an option if you are heading to western Canada or want a domestic connection.
What are the best flight timings?
India is 9 hours 30 minutes ahead of Toronto in summer and 10 hours 30 minutes ahead in winter, so flights from Delhi usually land in Canada on the same calendar day. Sleep on board where you can, then stay awake until local evening to adjust faster.
Baggage
Economy on India–Canada routes usually includes two checked bags of 23 kg each, though basic fares can include fewer. Students moving to Canada should compare the cost of an extra bag with shipping, and weigh everything at home.
Getting from Pearson to the city
The UP Express train reaches Union Station downtown in about 25 minutes for about CAD 12 (₹780). A taxi or limousine to downtown runs on flat zone fares of about CAD 60–75 (₹3,800–4,700). Brampton and Mississauga are 20–30 minutes away by road.
When to book, and connecting options
Book 8–12 weeks ahead for June–August, the August–September student intake and December, when the diaspora flies home. January–March and October–November are usually cheapest. One-stop flights via London, Frankfurt, Paris or the Gulf take 18–24 hours.
Tips for families and seniors
- Parents on long visits should carry medicines for the whole stay in original packaging, with prescriptions.
- Request wheelchair assistance and aisle seats at booking for a flight this long.
- Buy visitor medical insurance before you fly; healthcare in Canada is expensive for visitors.
- Declare all food items at Canadian customs — undeclared food can lead to fines.
