One of the first things on your to-do list when you want to apply for a Canada ETA is to make sure that you fulfill the requirements. Nevertheless, the list is short. You'll need the documents below:

Travel documents for the citizens of Spain – the online application form

After you put together everything necessary for the online application process, you can move forward and fill in the online form. You should not find the task complicated, but if it happens to have questions or concerns, iVisa.com’s customer support is at your disposal day and night. The service does not charge.

When you access the application page, you will see that iVisa.com’s form is broken down into three steps:

Step one is reserved for general information and processing time. As for the latter, you need to make a choice because you are given multiple options. The decision you make determines how much money you are charged for your Canada ETA. Here is what you can opt for:
- Standard processing – many people choose this alternative because it's very cheap. But, your ETA is ready in 24 hours, and you'll have to pay USD $49.49.
- Rush processing – your Canada ETA will be done in 12 hours. The quantity to pay is USD $86.49.
- Super Rush processing – the total cost is USD $130.49 and if time is a problem, select this option and your ETA will be delivered in 6 hours.
Step number two requires you to insert your payment details, but you also have to review the provided information.
While the third step wants you to upload your application’s supporting documents. After the three steps are complete, send it. We'll handle it from there.

What you need to understand from all this is that as a citizen of Spain, you do not need a Canada visa per se if you plan a short visit. You must, however, get a Canada ETA before your departure. The travel document has a validation for 5 years after issued or until passport expires, if that happens first. You can use it for Multiple Entry and you can stay in Canada for up to 180 days Per Entry.
