Which travel authorization is needed for traveling to Canada?

If you have a passport from one of Canada's visa-exempt nations, you should first check to see if you are qualified for a Canada eTA.

Some of these countries are the United Kingdom, all European Union member states, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, and others.

If so, you can begin applying for electronic travel authorization online before traveling to the nation. Please keep in mind that the electronic travel authorization for Canada allows travelers to get a travel permit for Canada without visiting the Canadian Embassy.

If you are a citizen of a nation that is not eTA qualified or visa-exempt, you will require a transit visa to travel through Canada without stopping or visiting.

Passengers must remain at the International Airport's transit area. If you want to leave the airport, you must apply for a Canada Visitor Visa before heading to Canada.

US residents and US Green Card holders are free from the eTA requirement.
