Visa-Exempt & eTA-Eligible Travellers

If you are a citizen from a visa-exempt country or territory, you may need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) to board your flight or transit through Canada.

Mode of Travel Matters: An eTA is required specifically if you are travelling by air. If you are arriving by land or sea (such as by car, bus, train, or cruise ship), you generally do not need an eTA, though you must still carry a valid passport. Learn more about visa-exempt (eTA eligible) travelers process and requirements here.

Eligible Visa-Required Countries: Citizens from certain countries who normally require a visa may be eligible to apply for an eTA instead of a visa, provided they are travelling by air and meet specific travel history or passport requirements.
