ELECTRONIC TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION (eTA)

The eTA is a document that allows you to travel in Canada by plane and to travel freely inside the country. It is an entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to or transiting through Canada by air. Applying for an eTA is a simple online process. You should apply for an eTA before you book your flight. For more information about the process, see the Electronic travel authorization (eTA).
