Since Surat Airport (STV) has limited international connectivity, the standard approach is to travel first to Mumbai (≈ 1h by IndiGo or Air India feeder, or ≈ 3.5h by Tejas Express train, which is often more convenient given STV's schedule). From Mumbai, Air India operates a non-stop BOM–YYZ service using a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, clocking roughly 15h 30m in the air. Alternatively, routing via Delhi (DEL) with Air India's DEL–YYZ non-stop, or connecting through Dubai (Emirates), Frankfurt (Lufthansa), or London (Air Canada) adds another stop but broader departure time flexibility.
Toronto-bound fares from India peak in May–June (students finishing the academic year and families planning summer visits) and again in December. The lowest fares are typically found in January–March and September–October. As of June 2026, all-in economy fares from Surat (including the BOM feeder and BOM–YYZ) ranged from ₹75,000–₹1,30,000 return. Booking 3–4 months ahead is recommended for summer travel; last-minute deals on this corridor are rare. Comparing Air India direct vs Gulf-hub routing is worthwhile — Emirates and Etihad sometimes undercut on price during promotions.
The Air India Mumbai–Toronto non-stop is the most time-efficient option at roughly 15h 30m westbound (shorter eastbound due to jet stream assistance at ≈ 14h). Adding the STV–BOM feeder of ≈ 1h plus a 2–3h Mumbai layover, total door-to-door from Surat Airport to Toronto Pearson is approximately 19–22 hours. Gulf-hub routings (via Dubai or Abu Dhabi) typically take 21–24 hours total; European routings via Frankfurt or London run 22–26 hours. Canada is ≈ 10.5h behind IST in winter and 9.5h behind in Eastern Daylight Time (summer).
Air India economy to Toronto includes 23 kg checked baggage (1 bag) in most fare buckets as of June 2026; flexible and premium economy classes include 2 × 23 kg. Air Canada economy typically includes 1 × 23 kg. Many Gujarat families travel with heavy luggage — pre-purchasing a second bag at booking is much cheaper than paying at the check-in counter. Prohibited items for Canada include certain food products (meat, dairy from certain regions); declare agricultural items at Canadian customs to avoid fines.
Surat Airport (STV) is a small domestic airport; check for current active services before planning to depart from STV — at times schedule gaps mean Mumbai by road or train is more practical. Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM) uses T2 for all international flights including Air India to Toronto. Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is the largest airport in Canada, located in Mississauga ≈ 25 km west of downtown Toronto. The UP Express train links YYZ directly to Union Station in 25 minutes — the fastest and most reliable airport transfer option.
Indian passport holders require a Canada Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa, TRV) — there is no visa-on-arrival or eTA option for most Indian nationals travelling to Canada for tourism. Applications are made online through IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) and require biometrics at a VAC (Visa Application Centre). Processing times have historically ranged from 4–12 weeks; apply early, especially for summer travel. A valid US B1/B2 visa significantly streamlines the application but does not replace the need for a Canadian visa. For full requirements, visit /visas.
Toronto summers (June–August) are warm and festival-packed — the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September draws global crowds, and Caribana in August is a spectacular celebration. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer mild weather and beautiful foliage, especially in nearby Ontario wine country. Winters (November–March) are cold with heavy snowfall but come with the lowest airfares and a lively indoor culture scene. Gujarati families visiting communities in Brampton or Scarborough often choose summer for family convenience, aligning with school holidays on both sides.
