Transit Visa through Frankfurt
I recently was on a Lufthansa flight with transit at Frnkfrt. However I was not allowed to board the plane at Calgary because my W-1 visa had expired and in Canada you do not need to extend your visa to stay on longer.
The rule as explained by the German embassy was if you were in possession of a valid visa from the destionation country on way back to home country, you do not need a transit visa. In all other cases you need to be issued a transit visa to travel through Frankfurt.
