The Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is a required entry permit for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling to Canada by air. Designed to simplify the process, the eTA is applied for entirely online and linked electronically to your passport. It’s quick, easy, and most applications are approved within minutes. You’ll need a valid passport, email address, and a credit or debit card for the small processing fee. Once approved, your eTA remains valid for up to five years or until your passport expires. Whether you’re visiting family, exploring Canadian cities, or on a short business trip, applying for a Canada eTA ensures a smooth and stress-free entry experience.
