I am travelling to Canada via boat, cruise ship or by driving across a border, do I need an eTA?

No, an eTA is required for travelers who are only arriving in Canada via commercial or chartered flights. Here are some key points to consider:

eTA Requirement: Most travelers from visa-exempt countries, including those traveling by boat, cruise ship, or land border, are required to have an eTA before entering Canada. The eTA is an electronic authorization linked to your passport and valid for multiple entries over five years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
Exceptions: There are a few exceptions where an eTA is not required, such as for Canadian citizens, permanent residents, U.S. citizens, and certain other exempted individuals. However, it's always recommended to check the official Government of Canada website or consult with the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate to determine your specific requirements based on your citizenship.
Applying for a Canada eTA: To obtain an eTA, you must complete an online application, provide your personal information, and passport details, and answer some eligibility questions. There is usually a processing fee associated with the eTA application. Once approved, the eTA will be electronically linked to your passport.
Presenting the eTA: When you travel to Canada, you will need to give your passport with the approved eTA at the immigration checkpoint, whether you arrive by boat, cruise ship, or drive across a land border.

It's important to note that visa requirements and entry regulations can change, so it is recommended to verify the most up-to-date information on Canada Immigration Services before your trip.
