I am Eritrean and I'm going to Amsterdam and i'm going from Calgary to Amsterdam ( no stops), I don't know if I need a schengen visa because when I want to the airport they said i need one because i'm stopping in iceland but I cut my ticket and i'm going a different aieline and I made sure there no stops. I have tryed searches but none answer my question. I have a piece of paper which says that there is someone in Amsterdam i will be staying with.

Amsterdam is in the Schengen zone. Unless you are eligible to enter the Schengen zone without a visa you will need one to enter the Netherlands.

Both Iceland and Netherlands are in the Schengen area. Whether you stop in Iceland, or fly direct, will have no bearing on whether you need a Schengen visa. You were either given bad advice, or somebody misunderstood something.

As a citizen of Eritrea, yes, you need a Schengen visa to go to Amsterdam. This is true whether you fly there by way of Iceland (or any other Schengen country) or directly.
If you fly through Iceland, you will enter the Schengen area in Iceland, for which you need a Schengen visa, and your flight from there to Amsterdam will be an internal Schengen flight without passport controls. The same will be true if you fly through any other Schengen airport.
If you fly directly to Amsterdam, you will enter the Schengen area in Amsterdam, for which you also need a Schengen visa.
So no matter what, you need a Schengen visa.
This analysis assumes that you do not have a residence permit from a Schengen country. If you do, the residence permit authorizes you to enter the Schengen area, and you do not need an additional visa.
