Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)
An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is required for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to or transiting through Canada by air.
U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid Canadian visa are exempt.
Applying for an eTA
- You must apply for an eTA at least 72 hours before departure.
- If you travel without an approved eTA, you may be denied entry upon arrival.
- You must have a valid passport and travel with the same passport that you used for your eTA application.

Validity
An eTA is valid for up to 5 years, or until your passport expires – whichever comes first.
Your responsibility
It is always your responsibility to apply for and obtain an approved eTA before departure.
