How to travel to Canada from Seychelles?
To travel to Canada from Seychelles, you need to know about travel information following:
-
Applying for a Canada ETA: Canada has announced visa-free travel for eligible travelers from 13 additional countries, including Seychelles. Seychellois citizens who are not eligible will still require visas to go to Canada and must have a Seychelles passport valid for six months beyond the anticipated stay in Canada. Also needed is proof of onward travel (departure) from the northern American country. Seychelles passport holders must get a Canada Electronic Travel Authority (Canada eTA), even for a short term of one day to 90 days. If Seychelles citizens wish to stay for an extended period, they should apply for a visa appropriate to their circumstances. Canada's eTA is only valid for five years. Seychelles nationals can enter several times within the Canada eTA's five-year validity period.
-
Book Your Flight: There are no direct flights from Seychelles to Canada, therefore you will have to schedule a connecting ticket.
