Can Korean citizens apply for Canada eTA online?

South Korean passport holders intending to travel to Canada are required to apply for a Canadian eTA before their flight.

The Canada eTA application is available entirely online. The eTA request may be made from home 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no need to visit an embassy or consulate in person.

Only a valid passport and a few primary personal data are necessary to complete the form, which is then sent for evaluation when the eTA costs are completed using a credit or debit card.

Upon approval, applicants receive an email notification, and the eTA is electronically linked to their Korean passport. This electronic travel authorization remains valid for a period of five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.
