Canadian visa policy for Australian citizens

Australian citizens do not need a visa to visit Canada for short stays, but they must obtain an approved Canadian eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) to fly through a Canadian airport.

iVisa offers two entry documents for Australian travelers:

Canadian eTA: A mandatory electronic travel authorization that allows Australian citizens to travel to Canada by air. It is valid for up to 5 years (of until the passport expires) and permits multiple trips of up to 180 days each.
Advance CBSA Declaration: an online customs declaration form that travelers can complete before arrival to save time at the airport and speed up entry procedures.

General Canadian entry requirements for Australian travelers are:
an Australian passport valid for the duration of the stay
Approved Canadian eTA (required for air travel)
Completed Advance CBSA Declaration (recommended)
Confirmed return or onward travel ticket
Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary
Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay

FAQs

Do Australian citizens need a visa to travel to Canada?

No. Australian passport holders do not need a traditional visa for short visits to Canada.

However, they must obtain an approved Canadian eTA if traveling by air.

What is the Canadian eTA for Australian citizens?

The Canadian eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is an electronic entry requirement for visa-exempt travelers flying to or transiting through Canada.

It is not a visa, but it must be approved before boarding your flight.
