How to apply for a ETA
Watch how simple it is
The Government of Canada introduced in March 2016 a new entry requirement, known as an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA), that applies to visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to or transiting Canada by air.
An eTA is electronically linked to a traveller’s passport. It is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. With a valid eTA, you can travel to Canada as often as you want for short stays (normally for up to six months at a time). The information entered will be sent electronically to the Canada Department of Immigration and we will send your Canada eTA online via email in as little as 15 minutes.
ETA Requirements for Canada
- You will need to bring the passport you used to apply for your eTA, as the eTA is electronically linked to it.
- If you get a new passport, you need to get a new eTA.
- With a valid eTA, you can travel to Canada as often as you want for short stays (normally for up to six months at a time)
- It is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.
- When you arrive, a border services officer will ask to see your passport and other documents – for example, a U.S. Green Card.
- Children under 18 must travel with appropriate documents and meet the same entry requirements as adults. Contact us for more information about requirements for minor children.
- It is best to get an eTA before you book your flight to Canada.
- Once your eTA is approved, check that the passport number included in your eTA approval email matches the number in your passport. If they don’t match, you need to apply for a new eTA.
- The airline staff will scan your passport to confirm that you have a valid eTA. If you do not have one, you won’t be able to board your flight.
