A big question for many is, do I need an Electronic Travel Authorization?
You need an eTA if you are travelling to Canada by air from a visa-exempt
country. A full list of visa-exempt countries is available here.
The following are exempt from requiring an eTA:
Those who have already obtained a valid visa to enter Canada.
Anyone entering by land or sea.
Armed Forces visiting Canada on official duty.
Students who have a valid Canadian study permit dated on or after August 1, 2015.
Flight crew, civil aviation inspectors, accident investigators.
Temporary Foreign Workers who have a valid Canadian work permit date on or after August 1, 2015.
French citizens who live in and are travelling from St. Pierre and Miquelon.
Persons entering from the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon, while holding valid status in Canada.
Accredited diplomats.
Canadian citizens and dual citizens (provided you are travelling on a Canadian passport)
Canadian permanent residents (you need your PR card or point of entry documentation)
US citizens (US permanent residents, or green card holders, DO require an eTA when travelling by air)
If you have questions about the eTA process, please book a consultation here.
