Prepare your Canada Electronic Travel Authorisation quickly with structured guidance designed to help you submit accurate information and avoid common delays.
Understand the Canada eTA Before You Apply
The Canada Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) is a digital entry requirement for eligible visa-exempt travellers flying to Canada for short visits, including tourism, business, or transit. It is electronically linked to your passport, so no physical stamp or label is required.
A valid eTA typically allows multiple entries and stays of up to six months per visit, depending on the decision of border authorities.
The eTA is also required if you are only transiting through a Canadian airport.
Who Needs a Canada eTA?
- Travellers from visa-exempt countries arriving in Canada by air
- The eTA is required only for air travel. Travellers entering Canada by land or sea do not need an eTA.
- Eligible passengers transiting through a Canadian airport
- Certain visa-required nationals who meet specific eligibility conditions defined by Canadian authorities
