Can Swiss apply for a Canada eTA without flight confirmation?

Yes, Swiss nationals without a flight confirmation can apply for a Canada ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization). The application for ETA does not require particular flight information or a confirmed itinerary.

When applying for a Canada eTA, you must supply personal information, passport information, and answers to questions about your travel history and background. However, you are not needed to give exact flight information or evidence of travel arrangements when applying.

The Canada ETA is generally valid for multiple entries within its validity period, which is usually up to five years or until the expiration of your passport, whichever comes first. Each visit to Canada can have a maximum duration of up to six months.

While you may apply for a Canada ETA without a ticket confirmation, you should have a detailed strategy for your intended trip to Canada before booking your flights. This guarantees that you meet the visa criteria and have a legitimate purpose for visiting Canada.

Additionally, when you do book your flights, make sure to provide accurate and up-to-date information to the airline, as they may request your ETA details during the check-in process.

Always check the official website of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or contact the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding ETA requirements and procedures for Swiss citizens traveling to Canada.
