ETA
ETA
An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) offers travelers a convenient and efficient way to visit Canada by air. This digital travel document is electronically linked to your passport, eliminating the need for physical paperwork or a visa for visa-exempt individuals. It’s especially beneficial for short-term visits, including tourism, business meetings, or visiting family and friends.
The application process for an eTA is user-friendly and can be completed online, saving you time and effort. Once approved, your eTA allows you to make multiple trips to Canada over the course of five years, each stay lasting up to six months. This flexibility means you can explore Canada’s diverse landscapes, vibrant cities, and cultural attractions without the hassle of reapplying for a visa every time you visit. It’s an ideal solution for travelers seeking convenience and ease in their journeys to Canada.
To be eligible for a ETA
To be eligible for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to Canada, you need to meet these criteria:
- Nationality: You must be a citizen of a visa-exempt country. Check the official Canadian government website to see if your country qualifies.
- Travel Purpose: You should be visiting Canada for tourism, business, or family visits. If you plan to work or study in Canada, you may need a different type of visa or permit.
- Valid Passport: You must possess a valid passport from an eligible country. Ensure that your passport will remain valid for the duration of your planned stay.
- No Criminal Record: You should not have a criminal record or be considered a security risk. Canadian authorities may conduct background checks as part of the ETA application process.
- No Medical Inadmissibility: You should not pose a risk to public health in Canada. If you have a serious medical condition, you may be deemed medically inadmissible.
- No Prior Visa Denial: If you have previously been denied a visa or entry into Canada, you may not be eligible for an ETA.
