With no direct service, the journey starts with a 1h hop to Chennai (MAA) or a Gulf-bound flight from IXM. From a Gulf hub, Qatar Airways via Doha and Emirates via Dubai connect onward to Toronto with one change, while Etihad routes via Abu Dhabi. These keep you out of US airspace, so no US transit visa is needed. Alternatively, fly IXM–Delhi and take Air Canada or Air India's non-stop to YYZ. The Gulf option is usually the simplest with one ticket and through-checked bags.
Reliable carriers with strong YYZ schedules include:

Canada is a premium long-haul market. Economy round-trips from IXM to YYZ typically run ₹82,000–₹1,40,000 depending on season, hub and booking lead time, plus any IXM–Chennai domestic leg. Summer and December are dearest because of student and holiday demand. Booking 2–4 months out and flying in February, May or October can save 20–30%. Students should compare fares that bundle extra baggage, which often beats a marginally cheaper base fare when relocating.
Canada-bound economy generally uses the piece system: 2 checked bags of around 23 kg each plus 7–8 kg cabin. Some carriers offer a discounted third bag for students — ask at booking when you are moving abroad. The domestic IXM leg on IndiGo usually includes only 15 kg, so plan for the lowest allowance if tickets are separate. On split itineraries, confirm whether your bags are through-checked from IXM to YYZ or need to be re-tagged at the Gulf hub.
Toronto is warm and pleasant June–August, cold and snowy December–February, and mild in spring and autumn. The cheapest fares show up in February, May and October, away from summer and December peaks when prices climb 30–40%.

Toronto hosts one of the largest Tamil diaspora communities in the world, especially in Scarborough and the wider GTA, with temples, Tamil grocery stores, restaurants and cultural associations. New arrivals find a strong support network, Indian remittance services and familiar food. For visitors there is the CN Tower, Niagara Falls about 90 minutes away, and excellent transit. Pearson is the main entry point and connects onward across Canada, making Toronto a natural landing city for students and PRs alike.
Canada offers no visa-on-arrival to Indians. Visitors need a Temporary Resident Visa with biometrics, students need a study permit and acceptance letter, and new immigrants travel on PR documents.

Our visa guide covers the documents to prepare before booking your IXM–YYZ flights.
