Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

Friday, September 18, 2015

Canada has introduced a new entry requirement, known as an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to Canada by air. Some exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid visa. Entry requirements for other methods of travel (land, sea) have not changed.

Starting August 2015, eligible travellers can apply online for an eTA. This entry requirement will become mandatory on March 15, 2016, and travellers will need an eTA before they can board a flight to Canada.
