Canada Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for a Canada eTA, applicants are generally expected to:

• Hold a passport from an eligible country
• Intend to travel only for permitted short-term purposes
• Meet admissibility requirements under Canadian immigration law
• Demonstrate genuine visitor intentions
• Have no intention to work without authorisation
• Hold a passport valid for the duration of travel

Meeting these requirements does not guarantee approval. Final decisions are made by Canadian authorities.

Important Information Before You Apply

Before you canada eta apply online, make sure you have the passport you intend to use for your journey and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

• The authorisation is electronically linked to your passport
• Applications must be submitted online before travel
• An eTA is required when travelling to Canada by air
• Most approvals are issued quickly, although some applications may take longer depending on circumstances
• Entry decisions are made by border officials on arrival

Authorisation Conditions

All travel authorisations are issued with conditions that travellers must follow during their stay in Canada.

• Maximum stay period permitted
• Restrictions on work activities
• Compliance with Canadian laws and entry rules
• Requirement to leave Canada before authorised stay expires

Some travellers may receive additional instructions depending on their circumstances. Travellers should review any approval details carefully before travelling.

Failure to comply with conditions may affect future travel eligibility.

Validity and Stay Duration

The Canada eTA commonly provides:

• Validity for up to five years or until passport expiry
• Multiple entries during the validity period
• Stays of up to six months per visit, subject to border officer approval
• Permission for tourism or eligible business visitor activities

The authorised stay period is determined at the port of entry and cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Travellers must follow the conditions provided by Canadian authorities.

What You Can and Cannot Do

You can:

• Travel for tourism and leisure
• Visit family or friends
• Attend meetings, conferences, or business discussions
• Explore business opportunities

You cannot:

• Undertake employment without authorisation
• Provide services to a Canadian employer without permission
• Stay beyond your authorised period
• Breach entry conditions during your stay

Failure to comply may affect future travel eligibility.

Arrival in Canada

Holding a valid eTA does not guarantee entry into Canada.

All travellers must meet entry requirements and may be asked questions by border officers on arrival. Entry is granted only if officers are satisfied that all requirements are met at the time of entry.

Travellers should carry relevant documents and be prepared to explain the purpose of their visit if requested.

Passport and eTA Link

The Canada eTA is electronically connected to the passport used in the application.

Travellers must use the same passport when travelling to Canada. If a new passport is issued after approval, a new eTA may be required before travel.

Common Reasons for eTA Refusal

Applications can be refused for several reasons, including:

• Incorrect or incomplete information
• Concerns about travel intentions
• Previous travel or entry history issues
• Security or background concerns
• Inconsistencies between declared information and records

Each application is assessed individually by Canadian authorities.

When Another Visa May Be More Suitable

The Canada eTA may not be suitable for every traveller.

Another visa type may be required if you:

• Plan to stay longer than six months
• Intend to work in Canada
• Need to undertake an extended study
• Are not eligible based on nationality
• Plan to travel in a way that requires a visa instead

Choosing the correct travel permission is important to avoid disruptions or refusals.
