Entry to Canada

Citizens of certain countries require a visa to enter Canada. For more information, please consult Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp.

Effective March 15, 2016, visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to Canada will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). US citizens and travellers with valid visas are exempt from this requirement.

Entry requirements for other methods of travel (land, sea) have not changed. Do not wait until the last minute; apply for an eTA now.
