Everything You Need To Know About A Canada ETA
Canadian Electronic Visa
To ensure your visit to Canada is a smooth, enjoyable experience please read on for information on the new Electronic Travel Authorisation requirements for air travelers.
On March 15 2016 new legislation brought about to help improve boarder security came in to effect in the form of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). People travelling to Canada by air should apply for their eTA before boarding a flight to Canada.
Apply for a Canadian eTA here. It takes just a few minutes to apply and is a simple process- please have your passport and credit card ready.
Benefits of the eTA
The eTA’s goal is to make it easier and quicker for those eligible travelers coming in to Canada by air.
Persons not deemed eligible, such as those with criminal records or with no fly orders, will be refused travel prior to arrival in Canada. By identifying such persons through the use of the eTA system this will help protect Canada’s boarder more effectively and save resources & monies repatriating the individuals.
