Visa Exemption Program Established by
the Government of Canada
The Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA Canada) is an electronic program that allows travellers who are exempt from a visa requirement to enter Canada for temporary stays. This program, implemented by the Government of Canada, provides a simple electronic procedure to assess travellers’ eligibility before departure.
An E-T-A Canada makes it easier to enter the country for tourism, business, or transit. The authorization is valid for up to five years from issuance date or until the passport expires, whichever occurs first. It allows multiple entries into Canada during this period, offering valuable flexibility to travellers.
It is important to note that E-T-A Canada must be obtained before departure and approved prior to boarding. An online application process enables travellers to submit their information efficiently, simplifying the entry procedure.
