Canada Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an online authorization tied to your passport. Visa-exempt foreign nationals normally need an eTA to fly to or transit through Canada. It is not a visa โ€” whether you need an eTA or a visitor visa depends on your nationality and mode of travel.

Who is eligible?

  • Visa-exempt foreign nationals flying to or transiting through Canada
  • Lawful permanent residents of the United States travelling with the required documents
