Canadian visa policy for Hongkongers citizens

Hong Kong citizens do not need a traditional 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 Hong Kong travelers:

Canadian eTA: A mandatory electronic travel authorization that allows Hong Kong citizens to travel to Canada by air. It is valid for up to 5 years (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 Hong Kong travelers are:
A Hong Kong 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
