Question 1

What is a Canadian eTA?

Accepted Answer

A Canadian Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is a digital travel document required for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling to Canada by air. It is linked electronically to your passport and is mandatory for all eligible citizens. Once approved, your eTA remains valid for up to five years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

Question 2

Who needs a Canadian eTA?

Citizens from over 60 visa-exempt countries require an eTA to enter Canada by air. This includes citizens from Australia, Germany, France, United Kingdom, United States, Japan, and many others. If you're unsure whether you need an eTA, you can check your eligibility on our eTA eligibility page.

Question 4

How long is an eTA valid?

Accepted Answer

Once approved, your eTA remains valid for up to five years from the date of issuance. However, if your passport expires before five years, your eTA will also expire when your passport expires. You can keep your eTA even if you return home, and you can enter Canada multiple times during the validity period.

Question 5

What documents do I need to apply for an eTA?

Accepted Answer

To apply for a Canadian eTA, you need a valid passport that is readable and in good condition. Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Canada. You'll also need to provide personal information such as your date of birth, contact details, and employment information.

Question 6

Is an eTA valid for multiple entries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a Canadian eTA is valid for multiple entries to Canada during its validity period. You can enter and exit Canada multiple times without needing to reapply for a new eTA. This makes it convenient for business travelers, frequent visitors, and family members who travel between Canada and their home country regularly.
