Electronic Travel Authority (ETA)

Yes, British citizens can apply for the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Process will be the same for citizens from the United Kingdom. Apply online, wait 10-15 minutes and received the eta visa via email. There is no need to print up a visa document as the eta details are linked to the passport for the duration of the validity.

No there is not. All eTA-required travelers, regardless of their age, will need an eTA when they fly to Canada. This applies only if arriving by air. It is important to understand what entry documentation is needed if arriving by sea or land.

Applying for the Canada eTA is very simple, and processing is quick. After the application is filled and payment is received, processing can take as little as 10 minutes. However, some applications may require further action. This is determined by Immigration on a case by case basis.

After the application is successfully processed and approved, an eTA Approved email will be sent to the email on file. Keep in mind the Canada eTA is electronically linked to your passport and doesn't require any document print-out.

No. Currently, US Permanent Residents will not need an eTa to fly into Canada. Keep in mind eTA is valid for air travel only. Always carry your valid Green Card to show your status as a U.S. permanent resident.

No. American citizens do not need an eTA to enter Canada. However, you must carry proper identification and meet the basic requirements to enter Canada.

It depends if you are from an eTA-required country and how you travel to Canada.

• If you are from an eTA-required country and will travel to Canada by air, you will need an eTA.
• If you are from an eTA-required country and will travel to Canada by land or sea, you will not need an eTA.

However, carry proper identification to show to the border services officer when you enter Canada.
If you are from a visa-required country, you will need to get a visa no matter how you arrive.

Yes, The Canada eTA Visa is only available for travelers arriving by air. If you are arriving via boat or by a land crossing, you cannot apply for the eTA. You need to be well prepared on what visa documentation is needed before departing to Canada. If you are from an eTA approved country, all you will need is a eTA visa approval. No physical copy of the eTA is needed. It is all electronic.

If your application was rejected, you should not depart to Canada. If you arrive in Canada without a valid eTA visa, you may be refused entry by Immigration officials.

Upon rejection, there should be a reason given by Immigration. Once you fix whatever the issue is, apply again and wait for a response. Do not travel to Canada on a rejected eTA visa.

No, you are not required to have a print out. The eTA is linked to your passport number for the duration of the eTA. Currently, the eTA visa is valid for 5 years from the date it is issued.

Once approved, your eTA is valid for five (5) years or until your passport expires; whichever comes first. You can travel to Canada as many times as you want as long as your eTA visa remains valid.

Having a valid eTA and travel document will facilitate your entry to Canada, but it does not mean that you can enter Canada. When you arrive in Canada, you will still need to demonstrate to a border services officer that you satisfy all requirements to enter Canada. If you do not meet all the requirements, you may not be allowed to enter.
