I have a German Blue Passport. Am I eligible for Canada eTA?

Germany issued a blue passport, which is also known as a refugee travel document. After the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees recognizes your right to asylum or refugee status, you will be awarded a Blue passport. Blue Passport grants you protective status and residency rights in Germany but does not qualify you for Canada eTA. To be eligible for the Canada eTA, you must hold a German citizen passport.

The Canadian electronic travel authorization will be valid for a maximum of 5 years. This time will begin with the day the eTA was granted to the applicant. Please keep in mind that the eTA will be valid till the following events occur:

• The applicant’s passport expires. Or when any other type of travel document expires.
• The applicant's electronic travel permission is revoked.
• The applicant is awarded a fresh electronic travel authorization for Canada.
