I am a student from India. I have a study permit (temporary resident visa). I was just checking a flight from New Delhi to Toronto. One of the flights I was interested in was New Delhi -> London, London -> Montreal, Montreal -> Toronto.

In Montreal it says I require a transit visa. Do I really need it even though I have a student permit?

On the assumption that you are studying in Toronto and therefore have the appropriate visa for Canada no you do not also need a transit visa to pass through Montreal.

Transit visas are for when you land in a country en route to a different country. Toronto and Montreal are in the same country.

You will clear Canadian immigration in Montreal, where they will check your visa etc., and then board the domestic flight to Toronto.
