An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to Canada by air. It's electronically linked to your passport — no stamp, no paper document. Most applicants are approved within minutes.
Citizens of these countries need an eTA to fly to Canada (but NOT a full visitor visa). If you're driving or arriving by land from the US, you don't need an eTA.
You'll need: valid passport, credit/debit card (for the $7 fee), and an email address. That's it.
Go to the official Government of Canada website. Fill in your personal details, passport information, and travel plans. Takes about 10 minutes.
CAD $7 per person. Payable by credit or debit card. Non-refundable even if denied (rare for eTA).
Most applications are approved within minutes. Some may take several days if additional processing is needed. You'll receive confirmation by email.
Scam websites charge $50–80+ for the same $7 application. The only official site is canada.ca. If a site asks for more than CAD $7 for an eTA, it's not the official source.
Total cost per person. No hidden fees on the official site.
Most approved instantly. Some take up to 72 hours.
Valid for 5 years or until your passport expires (whichever comes first).
Online application, CAD $7, approved in minutes. For citizens of visa-exempt countries (UK, EU, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, etc.).
Full application with documents, biometrics, ~CAD $100, takes 2 weeks to 6 months. For citizens of visa-required countries (India, Nigeria, China, etc.).
