Entering Canada: Tips for Travelers
All visitors must have valid travel documents and identification to enter Canada, such as a passport or visa.
Find current information on entry requirements on the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)website.
Requirements may vary depending on the country you’re travelling from — or transiting through.
You may need a visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization. Find out if you need a visitor visa or ETA.
The entry document you need depends on:
- the type of travel document you plan to travel with
- the country that issued your travel document
- your nationality
- your method of travel to Canada for this trip
Visa-exempt foreign nationals (excluding U.S. citizens) must apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), ideally prior to booking their flight to Canada. Apply Here
Visa-required foreign nationals must submit fingerprints and a photo (biometrics) to acquire their visa for travel to Canada.
