How it works

When booking a Corridor pass you must provide us with your first journey. You will be issued with a voucher, which must be exchanged at this first station for your actual pass. Before boarding the train you must take your pass and passport to the ticket office where they will issue a ticket for your journey. You must have a reservation for each journey, these can be booked at the same time as your pass or once you arrive in Canada, book early to avoid disappointment. Reservations prior to arrival in Canada may incur extra charges - please check before booking. VIA Rail only sell the same number of tickets as there are seats on board. If you do not have a reservation you will not be allowed to board unless there is space available - standing is not an option.
