Do I need a visa to Canada? Who needs an eTA permit?
Most foreign nationals need a visa or an electronic travel authorization (eTA) to visit Canada for up to 6 months.
The eTA is required for citizens of countries that have visa-free travel with Canada. This includes citizens of EU countries, the UK, Australia and some other countries. Important: The electronic travel authorization (eTA) is not a Canadian visa and is only required if you are arriving in Canada by air.
Once your electronic travel authorization (eTA) is approved, it will be linked to the passport you used when you applied. Therefore, it is important that you present that particular passport when you check-in for your flight to Canada.
The airline staff will scan your passport to verify that you have a valid e-permit. Without it, you will not be allowed to board the airplane.
In order to obtain an electronic travel authorization (eTA) to Canada in a timely manner, it is strongly recommended that you apply for it in advance, at least seventy-two hours before your intended date of travel to Canada.
If you are a citizen of a country with which Canada has a visa-free regime and you are traveling to Canada from the United States by land or water, such as car, train, bus, or cruise ship, you do not need to obtain an eTA.
Note that an eTA permit does not allow you to work or study in Canada - you must obtain a special visa for these purposes.
