How to Apply for Canada eTA from UK - British Citizen

NO. All EU nationals are visa-exempt for stays of up to six months, but they must submit an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before flying to Canada. An eTA is a simple online application that is good for five years. If you're flying to Canada, you must have a valid eTA before boarding.

The Canada ETA permits a generous maximum stay of 180 days per entry. This prolonged stay guarantees visitors enough time in Canada for activities such as leisure exploration, family visits, business commitments, or attending educational programs.

EU citizens can apply for a Canada ETA online through our website. The online application process through Canada Immigration Services is user-friendly and easy, taking less than 15 minutes to complete!

Normally, the Canada eTA processing time is 03 working days. But if you would like to get an eTA quicker, the Canada Immigration Services team can meet your order. We have the available types of services for British citizens: 

• Standard service: Your eTA visa is processed within 03 business days.
• Urgent service: If you are rushed, this option helps you get an eTA visa after 24 business hours.
• Super urgent service: This is the fastest choice. You will be able to get an e-Visa in as little as 05 working hours.

Please note that Canada eTA fees include 02 types: the government fee and the visa service fee. The visa fees will vary for each of the above services.

An ETA for Canada from the UK is valid for up to 05 years, with multiple entries permitted. British citizens who hold an approved eTA are allowed to stay max 180 days for each stay. However, Canadian Border Officials will determine the exact length of time upon arrival and will usually stamp the duration on an applicant's passport. 

In addition, British citizens have to prepare some required documents to obtain Canada eTA in time for their trip:

• The British passport is valid for at least six months from the arrival date in Canada.
• A scan of the passport’s biographical page.
• Debit or credit card to make a payment.
• The current email address.

Travelers should read the eligibility of the Canada eTA carefully before applying for a Canada eTA visa from the UK:

• Canada eTA visa is applied for airlines only.
• Your eTA visa is electronically connected to your national passport. You have to apply for a new eTA if you change to a new passport.
• You can visit Canada for up to 06 months for tourism, conference, business trip, and medical treatment purposes.
• To apply for a Canada eTA visa, the applicant is required to be over 18. If not, the parents or legal guardian do that instead.

If eligibility requirements do not match you, you can consider applying for a regular visa at the Canadian Embassy or the Consulate.

The Canada eTA cannot be extended. Before your Canada eTA expires, you need to apply for a new visa if you wish to return to Canada.
