Canada eTA for Luxembourg Citizens: Fees & Processing Time

No. People from Luxembourg don’t require a visa to travel to Canada. However, just like all the other visa-exempt nationalities, except for the nationals of Luxembourg, as a Luxembourg citizen, you must apply for a Canada ETA before departure

The Government of Canada has introduced new entry measures that will require all those traveling to Canada under the Canada visa waiver program to obtain an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before boarding flights bound for Canada.

Effective March 15, 2016, travelers taking flights for Canada or transiting in Canada without a visa, will be asked to hold an eTA at the time of travel. Those who have not applied for an eTA may be denied boarding of flights.

The validity of the Canada eTA is five years or until the expiration date of the passport used to apply for the eTA

Luxembourg nationals who satisfy specific conditions can get a Canada ETA online in 24 hours. The Canada ETA is the quickest and most convenient way to enter the nation.

The Canada ETA application form requires only a few basic personal facts and passport information. Supporting documents are also available electronically.

Yes, you can exchange currency at Toronto airport. Toronto Airport has several currency exchange kiosks, including 5 CIBC Banking Centres and 13 ICE currency exchange desks. No matter where you are at the airport, there will be one nearby.

However, it's important to note that changing money at the airport is rarely the cheapest alternative, despite its convenience. Toronto Airport, like every other airport, serves a captive market, with thousands of passengers passing through each day. Airports have minimal competition, high footfall, and poor repeat business, hence there is no genuine motivation to offer inexpensive prices. Before making a decision, carefully review the available bargains.

Let's look at the various currency exchange possibilities at Toronto Pearson Airport.

CIBC

You’ll find CIBC banking centers in several locations at Toronto Airport

• Terminal 1 Domestic - after security
• Terminal 1 International - after security
• Terminal 1 USA - after security
• Terminal 1 - before security
• Terminal 3 - after security

Foreign money may be ordered online and picked up at a CIBC Banking Centre near the airport. You can also buy money on the spot; however, for big transactions or rare currencies, it is typically best to arrange in advance. Opening hours vary by location and according to flight schedules; verify ahead of time if you want to use CIBC to collect your travel money.

International Currency Exchange (ICE)

There are several ICE stations and kiosks throughout Toronto Pearson Airport. All locations provide the option of ordering money online and picking it up at the airport. Here’s where to find ICE at Toronto Airport

• Terminal 1 Domestic - after security
• Terminal 1 - 5 locations before security
• Terminal 1 International - 2 locations after security
• Terminal 1 USA - 3 locations after security
• Terminal 3 Domestic/International - 3 locations after security
• Terminal 3 USA - 1 location after security
• Terminal 3 - 3 locations before security.

No, you cannot use Global Entry to enter Canada. To enter Canada, you'll need a valid passport or a Canada visa.

CBP accepts Global entrance cards for authorized entrance into the United States at both land and maritime ports of entry. Global Entry cards include radio frequency identification, allowing them to be used in SENTRI and NEXUS expedited travel lanes while entering the United States. Global entrance cards are not acceptable for entrance into Canada using NEXUS lanes and kiosks. Global Entry cards are not accepted at Global Entry kiosks, which need passports or US legal permanent resident cards. Global Entry cardholders must observe all SENTRI and NEXUS program restrictions while using the card at land and marine ports of entry.

Only U.S. Citizens, U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents, and Mexican nationals are issued Global Entry cards.

If you frequently travel between the U.S. and Canada, you might consider applying for NEXUS, a trusted traveler program that allows expedited clearance for both countries.

Many visitors to Banff and Jasper National Parks transit through Calgary, located in the Canadian Rockies' foothills. However, whether you visit during the balmy summer or the icy winter, the city has lots of activities to offer. Here's how to make the most of 24 hours in Calgary.

Morning

Visit Heritage Park Historical Village, one of Canada's largest living history museums. Just south of downtown Calgary, pre-1915 buildings and staff take tourists back to the Canadian Wild West. Children may particularly appreciate a wagon or steam train journey.

Afternoon

On a culinary tour, you may explore Calgary's communities and learn about what makes Canadian cuisine special. Walk around a market or some of Calgary's most historic locations and try different meals. Travelers with children might want to visit the Calgary Zoo, which is home to over 1,000 animals from more than 100 species.

Night

The Calgary Tower, the city's highest structure and a prominent landmark is a popular nighttime attraction. Get there while it's still daylight to catch a glimpse of the Rocky Mountains in the distance. Stay for supper at the spinning Sky 360 restaurant—or simply enjoy the view from the observation deck before heading downtown to eat.

Even though cannabis products are legal in both Washington state and Canada, they cannot be transported across the border. Here's everything you can't bring into Canada (and vice versa).

• Food: Fresh fruits and vegetables and animal and fish products.
• Live bait: Do not bring minnows, leeches, smelts, or leeches on your fishing outings. Nightcrawlers are allowed, but they must be housed with artificial tissue bedding (no soil).
• Weapons: Guns and guns, ammunition, pyrotechnics, mace, and pepper spray are prohibited. If you're bringing a firearm into Canada for an official hunting or sports event, you must declare it to customs at the border. You will have to fill out a non-resident gun declaration form and meet with a border officer.
• Cannabis: Even if you have a medicinal cannabis prescription (from the United States, Canada, or another nation), you cannot import marijuana into Canada. Even though marijuana is legal in Washington state (over the border from Vancouver) and throughout Canada (as of October 17, 2018), you cannot transport cannabis from Washington into Canada. Even CBD oil and other cannabis products are prohibited.
• Illegal drugs: It might go without saying, but you absolutely may not bring any illegal drugs across the border into Canada.

Yes, minors can travel alone to Canada. Children under the age of eighteen are considered minors in Canada. To enter Canada, children must follow the same laws as adults do. This means they must provide the proper documentation, which may include a passport, a visa, or a Canada eTA, as well as additional documents particular to children (under the age of 18).

Parents can apply for a Canada ETA on their children's behalf. A child's nationality determines whether they are entitled to apply for one. Children who are not qualified for an eTA must get a standard visa from an embassy or consulate.

Minors attempting to enter Canada without legal paperwork or who are with adults other than their parents will be thoroughly inspected. Border patrol personnel are on the lookout for minors who may require protection or have gone away.

The required documents depend on whether the child is traveling alone, with their parent/s, or with another adult. The following documentation is required in addition to an eTA or visa if a child is traveling alone

• Child’s passport (a child can’t use their parent’s passport, even if their details are included inside)
• Copy of birth certificate.
• Authorization letter (in English or French and signed by both parents or legal guardians, as long as both parents/guardians are alive and have joint custody).

To minimize issues at the border, parents or legal guardians should ensure that their children have the necessary papers. The eTA Canada application takes only a few minutes to complete online, and it is processed very quickly.
