Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) required from all travelers to Canada : September 26, final deadline!

New entry requirement now in effect: visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to or transit through Canada are expected to have an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid Canadian visa. Until September 29, 2016, travellers who do not have an eTA can board their flight, as long as they have appropriate travel documents, such as a valid passport.

Entry requirements for other methods of travel (land, sea) have not changed.
