Do I need an eTA to transit through Toronto?

Yes. If you are from a country that requires a Canada eTA, you will need an eTA to transit through Canada by air. You do not need an eTA if you are entering Canada via train, bus, boat, or cruise.

You need a transit visa if you’re from a visa-required country and:

• International flights stop at Canadian airports en route to other countries.

• It will connect two international flights at Canadian airports

• You will be transiting through Canada within 48 hours.

• You do not have a valid visit visa

When your eTA is approved, it will be connected to the passport you used to apply. You must display this passport while checking in for your flight to Canada.

The airline personnel will scan your passport to ensure you have a valid eTA. You will not be able to board your aircraft if you do not have one.

To avoid delays at the airport, double-check that the passport number you used to complete the visa application matches the number in your passport. If they do not correspond, you must apply for a new eTA.
