Do I need an ETA for Canada if I have a work permit?

No. If you apply for an initial work permit before traveling to Canada, you won't need to apply for an ETA separately. Once your work permit application is approved, you will automatically receive either a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

If an eTA is issued, the eTA number will be included in the letter of introduction that you receive when your work permit is approved. It is essential to keep this eTA number in case you need to contact the authorities about your eTA.

Generally, most foreigners require a valid visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to visit Canada through a Canadian airport. An eTA is a mandatory entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals who are flying to or transiting through Canada. It is important to note that only travelers from countries that do not require a visa to visit Canada are required to obtain an eTA, and this applies only if they are traveling to Canada by air. With a Canada eTA, you are allowed to remain in the country for up to 180 days for each stay during its 5-year validity period. Such a long staying period enables you to comfortably enjoy the stunning landscapes and visit relatives or friends in Canada.
