Canada eTA Eligibility Requirements (UK)
To qualify for a Canada eTA, UK travellers must meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Hold a valid UK or visa-exempt passport
- Be in good health
- Have no serious criminal convictions
- Have no prior immigration violations
- Be travelling for short-term purposes
- Show ties to home country if requested
Meeting these requirements significantly increases your chances of approval. If your situation is complex, reviewing the detailed guidelines can help.
👉 Full Requirements Here:
Canada eTA refusals commonly occur due to:
- Incorrect or mismatched passport information
- Criminal history concerns
- Medical or health-related issues
- Previous visa or eTA refusals
- Immigration rule violations
- False, incomplete, or conflicting application details
Even minor mistakes can result in rejection, so accuracy is essential.
If your application is denied, don’t panic. Follow these steps:
1️⃣ Carefully review the refusal notice
2️⃣ Correct any mistakes or missing information
3️⃣ Ensure your passport details match exactly
4️⃣ Consider expert guidance before re-applying to avoid repeated refusals
👉 Need professional assistance?
Yes. Many applicants successfully reapply after correcting their information or addressing the issue that caused refusal.
If your situation has changed or you made an error previously, submitting a new and accurate application can help improve your chances.
You may require a Canadian Visitor Visa (TRV) instead of an eTA if:
- You have a serious criminal record
- You have immigration violations
- You were deemed inadmissible to Canada
- You do not hold a UK or visa-exempt passport
In such cases, a more detailed visa process is required.
