Visa-exempt foreign nationals entering Canada by air must have an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).
Prior to boarding a journey to Canada, tourists from nations without Visa requirements, such as the United States, must get an ETA.
ETA permissions are typically granted in a matter of minutes, although it is advised that you apply at least a few days before your intended departure date.
An ETA normally lasts for five years or until the expiration of your passport, whichever comes first.
ETAs cannot be renewed or extended, sorry. As soon as your current ETA expires, you must apply for a new one.
No, ETAs are only required for air travel to Canada. If you’re entering Canada by land or sea (e.g., by car or cruise ship), you do not need an ETA. However, other entry requirements may apply, so it’s essential to check the specific requirements for your mode of travel.
Yes, ETAs are required for travelers of all ages, including children and infants, if they are Visa-exempt foreign nationals entering Canada by air. Each traveler, regardless of age, must have their own individual ETA.
Having a criminal record may affect your eligibility for an ETA. Applicants with certain criminal convictions may be deemed inadmissible to Canada. It’s recommended to consult the official Canadian government website or seek legal advice to understand how your criminal record may impact your ETA application.
If you make a mistake on your ETA application, you may need to reapply with the correct information. It’s essential to double-check all the details you provide to ensure accuracy. Errors in your application could lead to delays or denials.
Yes, an ETA is generally valid for multiple trips to Canada within its five-year validity period or until the expiration of your passport, whichever comes first. You can use the same ETA for various visits, as long as it remains valid and your Passport is still valid.
