How long does it take for Canada's ETA for Dutch citizens to be approved?

All requests for Electronic Travel Authorization are evaluated by the Canadian government. The analysis procedure typically takes between 5 and 72 hours, following which the Canadian authorities send Dutch citizens a confirmation email.

Their passports are then immediately issued with the Canadian eTA for Dutch citizens. They are not required to carry a paper form of their eTA, unlike many other online travel permits. It is, nevertheless, suggested that you print a copy to ensure that you have documentation of travel authorization.

To board a flight from the Netherlands, passengers must present their passports for scanning at the departure gates. Similarly, when they arrive at the Canadian border, they will be required to give in their passports for entrance scans before being permitted into the nation.

When compared to the waiting periods for international visitors coming with a conventional visa or a non-biometric passport, the electronic passport lineups at Canadian airports are typically relatively swift and time-saving.
