Applying for an eTA to Fly to or Transit Through Canada

What is an eTA?

An eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is a travel document that allows citizens of certain countries to travel to Canada without a visa. It is valid for up to 5 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

Who Needs an eTA?

You need an eTA if you are a citizen of a visa-exempt country and you are flying to or transiting through Canada. You can find a list of visa-exempt countries on the Government of Canada website.

How to Apply for an eTA

You can apply for an eTA online through the Government of Canada website. The application process takes about 10 minutes, and the fee is $7. You will need to provide your passport information, travel plans, and contact information.
