VISA INFORMATION

Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

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

As of March 15, 2016, it is mandatory for all travelers to apply for an eTA before they can board a flight to Canada.
